You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Vonnie, Nora is your source for this! You could even google her work on Eater if she doesn't see this.

Nora is the professional, I would definitely take her recommendations. FWIW, the Morial Center is mostly the Warehouse District (it's very long), near the CBD, and getting to the Garden District or French Quarter or Marigny should be easy.

All my clothes that need to be clean for this week are in the dryer*, this Malbec that is supposed to go well with blue cheese and grilled meats is pairing well with the not-fit-to-serve-other-people chicken biscuits, and there is a fuckload of TV I haven't seen. Jeez, I let the Fall season get well underway without paying attention. Oh, I did register and pay for my bellydancing class through the end of October, so that's also something.

'* pending the sorting of clean clothes into daily outfits once they come out of the dryer. I'm considering this week Halloween Week and dressing accordingly. I've actually planned my outfits through next Tuesday (well, not the weekend, because I have no idea what I will do over next weekend. Maybe nothing? Maybe I made plans and forgot them? It's a mystery)

Commander's Palace was certainly a great dinner experience a few years ago. The Crystal Room at La Pavillon Hotel is also really good for fine dining.

Laura, I'm so sorry. I know you are lucky to have had her for so long, but it still can't be easy. So much love to you and your family.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Laura, I'm so sorry. My condolences to you and all who loved your mom. Much love and strength to you.

Maria, how was your hockey game? I love the Hershey Bears logo.

Ours was cute.
