I Know What it Means to Miss New Orleans

Last weekend I enjoyed a couple warm days bumming around New Orleans. It was good to get back to my Holiday Inn where I checked in poolside and kicked off the mini-vacation getting some much needed sun and cracking a few beers while reading Tender is the Night:

It just so happened that some of my fellow co-workers decided to spend their weekend in New Orleans as well. I was happy to walk Uptown on Saturday afternoon in my new Kino Sandals (courtesy of friend Jack) and pop into their rental house, where everyone was laying around catching the hair of the dog. This was very different from my 7:30am wake up for coffee and the newspaper. Soon we were off to Bourbon Street to begin raging:

Yes, I had a fine time until Sunday morning when I headed for the airport to fly off to Baltimore, MD. Tonight I'm headed to Kansas City, then Dallas, then a nice few days back in Seattle where my dad will be visiting for the weekend.
