We attended the opening day of Nola City Bark with our rescue Frenchie Wyatt Earp and our pug Bugsy.  We had a great time as did the little dogs. As one owner said, “I’m not sure who is happier here, the dogs or their people.”  I put together the video below and set it to […]

Sometimes it’s the big things, like the Saints winning the Super Bowl and electing a new mayor.  Other times, it’s the little things.  Katie’s in Mid-City has finally reopened.  Jennifer and I had our rehearsal dinner there in 2004.

No Monday can take a great French Quarter Fest weekend away. It’s a classic only-in-New-Orleans feeling that is Monday morning kryptonite. This may be heresy, but I prefer FQF to Jazz Fest these days. It’s all local music that you can here for free. It’s spread throughout the Quarter. And it has all the food […]
