{{{Gud}}} Hope today is looking better for you.

Once you have had New Orleans shrimp & grits you should never have them elsewhere. Just sayin'.

If you're ever in Memphis I would suggest giving the ones at Automatic Slim's a try before making that an ironclad rule.

Our wings are not tired.

Thank you for the birthday wishes! I am trying to just lounge and read and relax today. DH made me breakfast and is trying to keep me from working.

If (when) I get to Memphis I will do that for sure.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Happy Birthday, Laura!!! Enjoy your day!

Happy birthday, Laura!

I've got so much to do today in advance of the in-laws/cousins visiting. It's necessary and yet my profound commitment to inertia seems to be winning.

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

Hope you are feeling better today, Gud.

Happy birthday, Laura! Funny, I don't even think of shrimp and grits as a NOLA thing, I first heard of them as a specialty from somewhere else. South Carolina?

my profound commitment to inertia seems to be winning

The good news is that once you get moving that inertia will keep you in motion. Good luck!

Gud, I'm sorry. Know the feeling, if not the specific thing that drives you there.
