The sight of this shadow makes me happy.  Very, VERY happy.

Eat here

Then go next door for dessert:

Because it's all about location.

Well said!

119 decibels

If this is how loud it got at a bar in San Francisco during a Monday night Saints game:

                                  




Then I have no problem believing the following article:

I had season tickets when I lived in New Orleans.  I know how loud it can get in the Dome.  This year?  I can't even imagine.  Breesus bless each and every one of you who were in the Superdome Monday night, taking the decibel level to 119.  I wish I could have been there.  Maybe we could have made it 120.

Geaux Saints!

WHO DAT!!

The Saints were on Monday Night Football.  I was in San Francisco.  So where did I go to watch the game?  Where else?               

The atmosphere was quite festive.  Everyone's feeling pretty good about remaining undefeated thus far.  Mmm, look at all that Purple Haze...

It was even festive behind the bar...

                           

I often wonder what they think of us, those poor people who live at the corner of Lombard and Van Ness.  Once a week during football season, their nice peaceful little corner gets over-run by a bunch of drunken lunatics wearing black and gold, dancing up and down the street, chanting strange phrases using poor grammar.  I wonder if we are inadvertently preventing tourist dollars from reaching our beloved hometown.  "I don't want to go to New Orleans on vacation, honey.  Those people are crazy.  Have you seen their football fans?"

           

Yeah you right!

The Saints remain undefeated.  They are now 11-0.  Are we talking Superbowl?  We are talking un-fucking-believable.  Who dat said dey gonna beat dem Saints!  Who dat!  Who dat!

Honolulu, HI.  A lazy morning in Alika's living room.

Dining!

Jack Dempsey's.  New Orleans, LA.  On Poland Avenue, way out in the Bywater. 

Get the onion rings and a schooner of beer, of course.  Then get a big plate of something fried.  The frog's legs were delicious.  Even for breakfast the following morning.  But next time I'm getting the fried oyster platter.

                                              
That's a scoop of crab and shrimp stuffing on top.  Just to keep things interesting.  I love this place.

Happy Halloween

I was in Maui for Halloween.  Still hopping around on crutches.  Broke out a costume I've used before.  Miss Behaving.  Didn't want to brave the Lahaina madness on crutches, not a good idea.  Found a friendly nurse out and about in Kihei...
