Hi looks like this mid week musings thing is now a regular gig, so why not...a great way for me to talk about a whole bunch of randomness. Hope you are having a great week...mine is good, busy and productive.

F or anyone else who has "a thing" for New Orleans....this book is one of my favorites. Got it
