I can’t believe it’s football season again. Already! Time flies in the land of the crazy and it’s funny how Football Season always feels…Right, and Normal. I think it’s the long hawt summer in between the last game and the first one. So draining! Now, the City is once again joined together in Who Dat unity,…

The Fruit Stakes at Dawn
Omigod, y’all! The Saga continues. Since my last ponderings about the Strange Fruits on Fence-Posts, I have been actively searching for further specimens. To no avail. This summer has been a slow season for Fence Fruit, I can tell you. All these wrought iron fences, and nary a fruit to be found. Fences, fences, everywhere,…
I Met Santa at Walgreens
I met Santa Claus at the Walgreens on Canal Street yesterday. It was a pretty normal, and fairly stressful, day otherwise. So I was due for something awesome to happen. I’d navigated through all the construction to get over there on my lunch break so I could pick up a prescription right quick and avoid having…
Halfway to Mardi Gras
When I last left my fearless reader, I was suddenly approached with a Decision. To go to a parade, or to (gasp!) miss a parade? What a cliffhanger. J and I mulled it over for about 20 minutes (maybe half an hour) before making our final decision. We had already programmed ourselves into the mindset…
The Fine China
My lips have not graced the smooth cool rim of an actual glass while drinking a beverage in a very long time. Since Mardi Gras, in fact. Well, save for the occasional cup of hot tea, or coffee, which is a fairly rare occurrence between late May and sometime in mid-October. See, not only was…
The Way Home, #2
My brain is totally full right now. Last Sunday morning I awoke and, sitting out on the porch listening to the birds do their morning things, two ideas for books came to me suddenly, in a massive spontaneous BAM of Muse visit and my brain has been totally full ever since. I’d been waiting for…
Poolside Pussyfootin’
My streetcar trundles down Carondelet and past Indulge Island Grill every morning on the way to work. Indulge had always looked fairly innocuous and not like very much at all – it mainly continued to catch my eye because of the pirate sign hanging over the door. I had no idea they had a courtyard…
Dorothy’s Feet Were Killing Her
I have been obsessed with the Merry Old Land of Oz since I was a kid. Not too uncommon across generations, really. But my drive to want to BE there, in that childlike world-of-pretend sort of way, that way where you make every recess game another world, where you live it in your thoughts and…
Random Fruit
When you encounter a certain thing once, it is considered a novelty. When you come across a similarity later, in a different place, it becomes a running trend and you start to wonder if there is something going on…some under-culture or something that you just don’t know about. In all my years of beating the…
