It's so windy outside, I feel like the window is going to blow in.  Today I finally got to walk deep into the heart of the French Quarter down Royal street.  I also finally realized what it is that makes people fall in love with this city.  There's this feeling to everything here that you don't really find anywhere else.  The people are so happy to ( Read more... )

I'm in New Orleans...at the Joint Math Meeting, doing an exhibit for work.  Things so far have been pretty good....I'm not sure how many people want to read day to day details of what's going on, but I promised myself I would document stuff like this...so if you wish, read on.  if not, there's a few pictures at the bottom.

I was supposed to go to bed early tonight...instead I spent quite a bit of time finishing my trip down LJ memory lane.

We got a kitten yesterday! He's six months old so he's still a bit of a terror, but he's very sweet and adorable!!! He lost a tooth today, it was so tiny. I went and got him from an animal shelter in Huntley. There were lots of kitties there, but he was attached to me from right when I walked in, so I had to take him home. He has a little cold ( Read more... )
