Your perfect day in New Orleans...

Start early and walk down the boardwalk, inhale and smell the stinky-good (love the smell) Mississippi River while watching the barges and steamboats poke along. Make your way to Cafe du Monde for the beignets and cafe ole along with the sounds of live music. Shop for cheapo goodness at the Farmers Market while enjoying a praline sample along the way. Go across the street and meditate inside the cathedral for a spell. Grab a beer and a go cup and chill out in Jackson Square for a while (checking out the art, getting your cards read, whatever). Work up enough appetite to go to Coops Place on Decatur for more beer and a great lunch.

Damn damn damn damn damn! Do you know what it means to miss...
