I had a lot of down time at work today and used it to write my blog entry. It was a good entry, but it did bore me because it wasn't what I was there to do.

Nope, it was the art and the furniture galleries tucked away in the smelly old buildings. And there was the swamp tour . . . where I got to hold an alligator named Elvis. Finally, I could convince my husband that I didn't make up garfish or water moccasins. I had never heard about the bead thing, though. That was an eye-opener for me. (Yes, I went home beadless, but slightly less clueless.) It's nice to reminisce a bit after being horrified by what happened down there.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Patry.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04815309139966350553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11695927.post-1127240462411088702005-09-20T11:21:00.000-07:002005-09-20T11:21:00.000-07:00Poor New Orleans, I always wanted to go there and ...Poor New Orleans, I always wanted to go there and never could.

So I fully understand and appreciate what you seek to convey.<BR/><BR/>I have never been to New Orleans, and never might, since it is located at the other side of the globe. But with internet, the destruction was right there at my desktop to see and feel. The city may never have the same 'pulse', but in many ways the reconstruction will make it superior to pre-Katrina days.ShaanChohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12310473626552305670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11695927.post-1127197951580496192005-09-19T23:32:00.000-07:002005-09-19T23:32:00.000-07:00Oh Patry, this struck a chord with me.
