Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

In New Orleans someone asked that? There are parts of New Orleans without black people?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Today is just interminable, right?

I think the misogyny is just unspoken, but it's part of many of people's objections.

Basically I just agree with Dana today.

That was me, in Northside.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Though there are plenty parts of New Orleans and the surrounding areas that try very hard not to have black people.

Oh, Cincinnati people! My friends with 10 year old twins will be in your town over Spring break and would like recommendations. I've already talked up the taco district but couldn't remember the official name of your neighborhood, Steph!

Eta I may post and tag you on fb so my friend can see your answers.

What is wrong with people?

What is wrong with me that I can't tell Steph and smonster apart?

Yeah, I feel like those people didn't really know what neighborhood they were in.

Definitely do that, although I'm guessing flea has more recommendations of stuff to do with 10-year-olds, since I am kidless.

What do they want recommendations for? Stuff to do? Places to eat?

The Museum Center is great for kids who like museums. The ice cave in the Natural History museum is probably the coolest part. The Zoo is very good if the weather is good and they have weeknight concerts in April. If the kids are artsy or even art tolerant the Taft is a small art museum that had a good impressionist show up right now.

Assuming they are not lactose-intolerant vegans, Graeter's obviously.

There is some sorbet, and it's quite good, but it's not like the chip flavors. Noms.
