  • Lunch in New Orleans

    Working in the CBD, I couldn't find a place nearby the serves fish at lunch prices. Of course there are many places in the Quarter, but I didn't feel like walking six blocks to cross Canal St. to get to the good places. so I opted instead to look for any place that looks like it would serve a quick lunch meal.
    I'd slowly walked just a little more than 2 blocks when an attractive young lady stops and says "hello, where's the party?" I'm taken aback just a bit and pretend that I did not hear her clearly. She tries to engage me further by asking where I'm from, but I mention a large city and take another step before stopping to look around my immediate vicinity. I quickly focus on her for just an second and smiled as I continued looking around. At this point, I guess she has decided to give up and resume her own way.
    HUSTLE AVERTED? or ....?

    Ended with a nice breakfast type meal for lunch at the "Ruby Slipper"

  • Working in New Orleans

    So one of my co-workers is taking his vacation to go deer hunting in West Texas. I will be relieving him and performing his duties. No problem since I was the one who trained him in the first place.

    The only real negative is that I will be in New Orleans from Dec 18th to the 31st. At least I'll be home in time to pop a few fireworks when the ball drops.

    Downtown New Orleans will be a ghost town during the Christmas holiday. Normally not so bad ... five blocks to the casino, five or six blocks to Bourbon street. But I'm guessing that most people will be home during that time and I'm pretty sure that the bars that I normally hang out at will be closed.
