The Big Easy didn't go down so well towards the end

Thursday night after some fantastic food, and enjoyable company, I found myself hugging the toilet instead of enjoying NOLA flavor. I got a 24 hour/food poisoning bug. I don't want to blame the food because it was fantastic. But man did I feel like crap. And I missed out on beignets. I had saved them for an all out hog fest on Friday because our other mornings were too early. Guess it just means I need to return soon. I did enjoy it!

The Big Easy

I have eaten and eaten here in New Orleans. I think I will be able to live off the amount of food I have eaten in the last few days for at least several weeks. Especially the pralines I bought this morning that may completely block my arteries with butter. But dang are they good!

I am here for work attending a team conference for my branch. It has been frustrating and hard. However I think it has also been good for communication. Those that were even remotely inclined to listen were able to listen more. There were those that are incapable of hearing who remain remote. I am hoping that people can start to feel more confident in the capability of those they work with enough to start doing a better job.

I promise to post pictures and video. And tell actual stories.

I must admit

I am looking for another kitty. Not that I don't love little Miss Mei-Mei. But when I came home on Tuesday she was crying at the door and it just about killed me it was so sad. She is such a good girl and I would like to be a good animal parent. So I am looking for another kitty who will fit in quietly and be a good friend to my Mischief. Even though Mischief is not dominant (or at least doesn't seem so) I would like to find another kitty who did not take over the house (plus I think Samantha would kill me if the cat did that!)

I did find a darling faced boy named "Loverboy" who had a smile painted on his face (white with black spot and painted on black smile). He was adopted this weekend, which I am bummed about. But happy. Hopefully he is finding a home that can love him like crazy. I am just looking for a kitty who will be willing to part of my little family.
