Ship's ballast stones from New Orleans. Ships arriving empty offloaded their ballast to take on sugar, molasses, timber, & other goods. The surplus stones were used as cobblestones, bracing for streets crossing ditches, garden ornaments & edging. #History #NewOrleans

Amy’s going to #NewOrleans on business, and I’m tagging along because I can.

It’s been ten years since our last visit! Looking forward to it.

Waiting for my ride in #NewOrleans. Somehow I feel like I am being judged for my lack of theology and geometry.

Debating taking an extra rest day tomorrow instead of adding in a measly 2-3 miles, mostly because the garmin is yelling at me.
On the one hand, #garmin is not wrong; I am in #NewOrleans, so sleep hasn’t exactly been a priority.
On the other hand, I could make the week‘s mileage despite #travel shenanigans if I run!

Leaving #NewOrleans this evening, after a full week disconnected from my day-job, and with no agenda other than slowly marinating in the cultural remoulade.

I love this city's attitude, its people, and its food. "I could live here”, I say to Amy, who rolls her eyes because I say that about almost* every city we've visited.

My last visit here was ten years ago. Lord willing I'll see it a third time. ⚜️

ME & TOMMY So today's my birthday (mint!). I just discovered it's ALSO the birthday of New Orleans music legend Tommy Ridgley (1925-1999). At last, someone other than Johnny Carson or Weird Al with whom I can share my special day. I think. Wikipedia says it's Oct. 30th while the official Tommy Ridgley website says Oct. 23rd. Move the chairs to the side of your room (as the Dutch would say) and get on down to "Jam Up"! #Nola #NewOrleans #TommyRidgley https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kA-zGXU9o4
