I haven’t update my blog in awhile. It’s been so busy with work, having the flu in late March for a week, and going to New Orleans for a much needed get away. The flu knocked me out for a full week, with a fever of 102 for a few days and a fever of 100 for a few days after that. Nothing like non-drug induced delusions!

New Orleans was fantastic. We were there during the French Quarter Fest. That was a total accident since we just wanted to get away, picked New Orleans, and found the only dates that worked with Diane’s & my schedule. But, it was fantastic. Lots of local and southern Louisiana music for 3 days. We had fabulous weather and really enjoyed ourselves. The “slurpies” helped too! The open carry law seems to apply to everywhere in the city and we took advantage of that. We ate at NOLA again, which is one of Emiril’s restaurants. It wasn’t as good as the first time we went a few years ago, but it was still fabulous. We ate at Cuvee, a place Diane found. It was the highlight meal. Amazing service, fabulous food, great presentations. We stayed at a great hotel too, called Loft 523. It was very chic with concrete floors, high ceilings, and decorated very modernly. We had a local artist’s painting hanging in the room. It was so cool, I’ll post a picture of it later, along with other ones of the room. The artist was named Harouni and his gallery was nice too. You can check it out here.

Work is progressing. I’m coming up on one year, which blows my mind. There might be some interesting news soon on my job front, so stay tuned!
