Saturday night in New Orleans

Habitat for Humanity house dedication with some live music after.

Dinner at Bennachin's African restaurant.

Fortunes told by a palm reader. (It was good for the others, but mine was total and complete bullshit.)

Pecan pie from Gumbo Shop and Haagan-Dazs vanilla ice cream eaten in Nancy's hotel courtyard with beautiful yet woman-eating ferns and trees.

Drive-through daiquiris at Daiquiris and Creams. (Yeah, yeah - we were in the French Quarter and getting daiquiris ANYWHERE would have been soooo easy. But I had to do that drive-through thing once, and we had the designated driver.)

Picking up the pediatrician to join us while Carolin sipped on her "Child Abuse" daiquiri (I went with the "Attitude Adjustment").

Sunpie Barnes and the Louisiana Sun Spots at Chickie WaWa's. This was a highlight, definitely. Lots of zydeco and blues and all sorts of other stuff.

And what else? Oh yeah, laundry not done and reading not done and briefings not done and a promised phone call not made. Oh well, it was a good eve.
