It’s been a whirlwind month (actually less than a month). Since arriving home on June 4th I’ve been away from home 6/22 nights and we leave in 3 days – spending our last night in CA at an SFO hotel prior to our 6:00 am flight to the UK on Friday. I love our home.Continue reading ““Home””

I’m human. I am also pretty sure all reading are as well. It is my normal ritual to review my calendar in the evening before the next day. Monday evening I knew I had a bit of a complicated Tuesday morning. There was a scheduled noon video meeting with the Murphy / Densmore family andContinue reading “A Morning’s Adventure”

Feels a little weird around here. I have one toe in Walnut Creek aka home and one toe in Google researching our next stops. I feel like I’ve barely had time to bask in the golden glory of our time in New Orleans (and it really was a golden time) and I’m already moving onContinue reading “Bullseye?”

NOLA is a beautiful and it’s a beautiful place to walk. It’s obviously flat which makes it an easy walk (except when it’s 90 degrees and 80% humidity). We all know about the architecture and of course, there’s the people watching, but beware! The sidewalks are not in tip-top condition! I’ve had this post inContinue reading “Don’t look up…”

Our last day. Something old…I meandered through the Bywater taking more photos, talking with a few people and eventually I walked back along the Mississippi. It was hot. Dug was hot. I forgot water again. And why is it that in this climate, even on a walking trail, there are NO water fountains of anyContinue reading “Good Night, Nola”

I went to the banks of the Mississippi River on my first visit to NOLA 20 +/- years ago. It is iconic. I like to use landmarks to set my directional bearings. It almost always helps me navigate an area new to me. To feel comfortable, even confident. As you face the Mississippi River atContinue reading “Directions”

Glen alluded to approaching the “end” of our time here in New Orleans. It’s no different than many other “endings” that we as humans experience. There’s a sense of loss and of sadness. And yet, there’s also excitement at the thought of returning home. Home to family and friends. To the comfort of a placeContinue reading “Something Old, Something New”

I really feel my own adaptability increasing. It is great to experience. This morning, we headed over to Brennens for breakfast without a reservation (adaptable point #1) . Our plan (some things still held onto tightly) was to arrive as they opened. AND if we were not able to get a table, we’d head overContinue reading ““I Don’t Care; I’m Just a Hater!””

Started this beautiful day by getting all dressed up (just means a shower, pants and a blouse instead of a baseball hat and shorts) and walked down to Brennan’s. No reservation so we wanted to be first in line for a walk in…sadly, the host came out at 9:00 and said they were closed forContinue reading “Beignets Are All they Have”

Jason Kidd and Jurgen Klopp beware! Over the course of the last two plus days I’ve experienced wildly swing emotions around sports. Truth? I am unable to enjoy or even manage my emotions around sports. I get emotional. My ability and inability to watch some and not others fascinate me. Makes me wonder. MUCH! WhenContinue reading “There It Is Again . . . NOISE”
