I'm not exactly sure what the task is, or what cities, exactly. Just that it's in Louisianna and were flying. If it were Shreveport I think we'd be driving.

I've never been to Nola. Guess I can scratch that one off the list.

Pat O'Brien's in the French Quarter have a Hurricane. Check out the voodoo shops. Eat some Cajun food, check out the casinos. Don't mosey to far out of the quarter. I don't go past the Flag Hotel ( cant remember the name, but you will see it), or more than a 2 blocks either way of the quarter. I like it better in the afternoon. The piss and vomit smell hasn't set in. Still beggers around but not as crazy. At night expect to have friendly locals offer to show you around, hoping you wil get careless with your cash so they can rob you.
I kept my wallet in my front pocket. I have had a great time every visit. It's a fun place.

Don't know if there is going to be any free time. We have six stores to visit in two days. We might be driving around and visiting stores the whole time.

Is that not a normal thing to do? I've always kept my wallet there. Seem's like keeping it in the back pocket and having to reach further to get it would be more of a pain in the ass.

I usually carry on my back pocket. My son is going to Europe in June for a school trip. They will be going to London, Paris, Rome and some town in Italy. The school told everyone to get a hidden wallet due to all the pick pockets in Paris.

The doctor asks, 'What can I do for you?
The man says, 'Will you watch us have sexual intercourse?'
The doctor raises both eyebrows, but he is so amazed that such an elderly couple is asking for sexual advice that he agrees.

When the couple finishes, the doctor says, 'There's absolutely nothing wrong with the way you have intercourse..'

He thanks them for coming, he wishes them good luck, he charges them $50 and he says good bye.

The next week, the same couple returns and asks the sex therapist to watch again. The sex therapist is a bit puzzled, but agrees.

This happens several weeks in a row.

The couple makes an appointment, has intercourse with no problems, pays the doctor, then leave.

Finally, after 3 months of this routine, the doctor says, 'I'm sorry, but I have to ask. Just what are you trying to find out?'

The man says, 'We're not trying to find out anything.

She's married; so we can't go to her house.

I'm married; and we can't go to my house.
The Holiday Inn charges $98.
The Hilton charges $139.

We do it here for $50, and best of all....

Medicare pays $43 of it.

I like it. I enjoy seeing you art work. Makes me wish, I would take the time to do some myself. I tried spending a some time each day drawing a couple of months back. After 3 days, I was so disappointed with my attempts, I gave up.

In unrelated news. Google Chrome hates me and I can no longer get the option to post to this site from Chrome. I guess I need to reload and see if it fixes the problem. Until then I have to use whatever windows is calling their browser these days.

After moms death I find myself hoping that when I'm gone, the things I did in life will not just vanish. The idea of having left no trace of my existence sort of horrifies.

luckily people will be talking about my sexy face for centuries to come.

I'm actually intrigued by your idea of making stickers and street-arting the mothman. I guess I'm going to need a color laser printer to do that. Which means it has to wait for a larger sales bonus check than what I'm getting this payday.

Buy shipping labels, draw art on them. Cut them to shape with x-acto knife. Done.

Next month should be decent as sales have really picked up and I have a sales team that is reall on the ball working for me.

That leaves 11 bucks in my account, and it's past 5 so their customer services isn't available until tomorrow morning, and I don't even know if they'll be able to do anything.


GODDAMNIT!

Otherwise it was an okay day.

Just got done calling into E-web customer service. They were able to reverse the charges, which immediately posted to my bank account and I was able to redo the payment properly and then get the internet sorted. Yay!

True, but you did say it was time for a new one. I know Gonzo has a hammock since it was part of his secret Santa, so I assume he lays on Timely's wigs just to feel closer to the one he loves.
