Let the good times roll ...

I'm heading to New Orleans in the morning! I'll be there for a week - work-related symposium. It's Jazz Week, so I'm planning on listening to lots of great old-style jazz. And eating lots of beignets. I'll be in meetings most of the time, but may get some time on Wednesday and Thursday to roam the streets on my own. Nothing like sitting outside at the Cafe du Monde with a plate of beignets and some chicory coffee and a sketchbook! Dinner at K Paul's Sunday night; Saturday night out on the town with co-workers. It should be fun. When I return, I'm on VACATION for an entire week! The restaurant will be closed for 5 days (Mon-Fri). I just hope the black flies will still be on vacation as well - somewhere other than New Hampshire ...
