Paddle Board anyone?

tried SUP today with Candlewood SUP.
Katie, Josh and myself. Perfect morning for a first attempt.

Let's get caught up - last week NOLA

I was in New Orleans last week for the Readsoft conference. The conference was held at the Inter-Continental hotel. Dinner the night of arrival was at Bourbon House New Orleans on Bourbon Street (of course). Good meal, great dessert was had by John who I traveled with...Chocolate Pecan Crunch which is.... dark chocolate mousse, pecan brittle crunch, salted caramel .

Wednesday, up earlier to try to beat the heat and humidity (no luck there) and a walk over Cafe Du Monde.


Beignets!

Cafe Beignet on Thursday morning.  Second place finish.

Thursday evening I was in search of music and wound up on Frenchmen Street. Cafe Negril, Blue Nile Nightclub and the Spotted cat.

First stop was the Spotted Cat to catch a set from Miss Sophie Lee.


I did drop back into the SPotted Cat later in the evening to carch the Smoking Time Jazz Club.


My favorite group for the evening was Soul Project at the Negril.

Rower gets surprise pit stop at the home of Paula Deen | The Coastal Source: "his next story is really one for the ages...a young man decides to buy a boat and row from Miami to New York City to raise money and awareness for Alzheimer's Disease.  Nothing special so far?  Well, he's never rowed before, and is sleeping in his boat all the way up,except for his stop in Savannah because of an unexpected phone call from a man who'd been following this young man's journey online."

Jeep Wrangler Red Jacket rumbles up to Jay Leno's Garage

Jeep Wrangler Red Jacket rumbles up to Jay Leno's Garage: "Oh how we love the Jeep CJ-8. Of all the classic CJ's, the "Scrambler" was one of the coolest. It was certainly one of the shortest-lived, with less than 30,000 produced during the five years between 1981-86."
