Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

My feet start to hurt instantly in narrow heels, so I don't wear them. I gave up on wearing cute shoes almost immediately after high school.

I will think on it, Lee.

Eta: I used to be able to wear heels without pain, but last time I tried just wearing a pair that used to be comfortable around the house I had pain within 20 minutes. And those were not high or narrow. I haven't quite convinced myself to get rid of my cute heels though, because they are really cute and maybe I can train myself to wear them again...

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Hey, if someone was going to be in New Orleans for a weekend in September, and wanted to go somewhere warm and relaxing before or after, does anyone have any suggestions for where that should be?

Destin, Florida, is a 4-hour drive from NOLA, and has fantastic white sand beaches. I think the airport is Ft. Walton Beach. MAYBE. It's been a long time since I've been down there.

He was great in Get Shorty, which I love. We shared a birthday...I always thought that was cool.

A lot of cruises leave port in NO. I never took one, I'm not sure where they go, if any would be a a suitable length, etc., but that might be worth looking into.

Biloxi is a pretty short drive for beaches and casinos.

Today has sucked balls. To the point where even whiskey isn't going to help. I may have completely fractured my relationship with K-Bug, there was a speaker at the ARP meeting tonight - parent of a 3 year old kid who got lost and was never found, and then CJ and I had cross words plus my foot feels worse. I just want to hide in my room for the next couple of months.

Rats, Chicago won in overtime.

Destin, Florida, is a 4-hour drive from NOLA, and has fantastic white sand beaches.

I haven't been myself, but a former co-worker loved the place and used to travel there all the time for vacation. Clearwater Beach on the Gulf Coast is pretty nice too: [link]

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Atlanta?

This is definitely a contender.

eta: SO is Destin.
