oy, good luck with the lil 'un. did you mention awhile ago that you may be visiting this great city some time in january?
theseeman:
Do you read www.crooksandliars.com ? I think you would like it. It is all about the excellent video clips. Who needs wrestlers when you can watch senators and representatives talk trash?

Well, like I told your lovely wife, if you two ever need a break there are quite a few people in the Los Angeles area who would love to see you for a few days.

January? When in January? Bean and I will be out of town, shivering ourselves silly in the middle of Illinois on the weekend of the 6th, but other than that we're free...

Ever have one of those nights when you wish your best friend was alive so you could tell him about it? I did. Times ten.

Should you suspect that I'm drunk (I am) and overwrought (likewise), I will simply say there were bounty hunters involved and leave it at that.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, but let me tell ya, a woman with a misprint in her cookbook can seriously muster the righteous rage.

What is New Orleans?

New Orleans is
Vaughn's on a
Saturday night.

Where the band starts its set in the street, outside the club

At 3:00 in the morning.

Dear Mom,

Having a wonderful time in New Orleans. Please send money and guns.

Good. I was worried that they were going to try and make it boring. I'm hoping my city actually goes through with the Free wi-fi but I doubt it the right/cons just one the mayoral and council races.
