When I think of Louisiana (and I've never been there), the first word that pops to mind is "Tabasco!" Other words soon follow: Mardi Gras, moss, snakes...and lately, Hurricanes!

Have we lost our friends in Louisiana - power outage? My prayers are with you for your safety. I hope to see you checking in soon.

Oh boy. Pat O'Brains. Seeing the picture of that drink brings back some embarrassing memories.

One night some years ago, I was in New Orleans with friends and we went to Pat O'Brians. While having one after another of those tasty drinks with a fairly robust alcohol content, we were sitting there having a blast. Suddenly, I stood up and excused myself as I raced towards the ladies room and threw up. I felt bad the next day too.
