You can also take the streetcar around the river bend near Tulane and there are cool bookstores and shops.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Can I opt out of being an adult today?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
So, we walked at lunchtime. 1.5 miles, so that is something. Not sure I got my heartrate up anywhere that is useful, but I will work on pace as I do it more. I mapped out a different route to try tomorrow that will be 1.7, so I'll have to walk it faster to stay in the timeframe.
I've mapped out my walk to the subway in the morning (.4 miles) and the one to pick up mac and get home at night (.55)

Damn you for posting that before I could!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
A Star Wars AT-AT Cake. Your Jaw May Now Commence Dropping. - Geeky Cake of the Week
Impressive....
eta:
The cake was a new cake for us… the Guiness Cake. and the background was hand painted by Joe. All of the people involved in the cake are artists of some sort and it took (everyone combined) about 60 hours (background painting, leg and body cut outs, covering, cake/covering, assembly and painting) so we figured the cake to come in some where around $5,000 at the low end. I’m sure the bakery could do it faster and cheaper if we ever got a second order for it, but it would still be a bit pricy and it wouldn’t have a custom hand painted background!

Damn me if you like, but I still get a muffaletta.
Hey, any guesses or preferences for who Obama will nominate for the Supreme Court?
I've been rooting for Kathleen Sullivan since I first saw her on some PBS Moot court thingie fifteen years ago and now I see she's on the list of potential candidates.
Also Sotomayor would be interesting.
Bon? I know you've got an opinion on this. So does brenda, I'm sure, but she's busy being in Italy!

I went to the Mint last time I was in town and really enjoyed their museum - small but interesting. It's over at the Marigny end of the French Quarter.
I've been there! I got Emmett some vintage coins.
The Marigny is my favorite district. Love Cafe Brasil and Praline place that has lunch and serves yummy catfish fingers with Abita Turbodog. It's all ramshackle over there.

Hubble has been successfully captured by Atlantis. It was really cool to watch the grappler view, the same view Megan McArthur was using to maneuver it. And she got it on the first try! And it's her first shuttle mission!
