A Funeral and Some Errands

I attended my great Aunt Dot's wake and funeral this morning. I was not acquainted with her but I guess my mom wanted the company. I understand she was sick for years with Parkinson's before her death. I was introduced to several distant relatives I had not yet seen before. After a service at a nearby church we followed the procession to West lawn cemetery. After some words and chatting with those distant relatives mom, grandma and I went to get some lunch at O'Henry's. On the way home mom and I discussed the possibility of getting my driver's license today. After getting home we changed and headed to the DMV office in Harvey after having stopped by the one at the bridge. They did no testing there. I spoke with someone at the office who told me I needed my driving school certificate to take the tests. We then went to Delgado to get it. I took a 36 hour course there back in June but neglected to pay for it, which was probably why I didn't receive it. After paying the bill I got my learner's permit. Unfortunately it was too late to go back to the DMV so we headed across the river to pick up my brother from school before going home. On the way we passed a Supercuts. I'd been complaining of the need to get a haircut and mom was willing to stop. There was no wait and it didn't take long. We then arrived at Andrew's school at picked him up. I don't remember anything of circumstance from this evening.

April 24: Festival Season
Nearly five months into the new year and here my first post of 2012. Over the last several months I lost one job and started looking for another one. I started going to the gym and exercising for the first time in my life. I thought I might lack the self discipline to keep up [...]

September 03: Denver in September
Today was the first of a five day trip to Denver with my friend Bianca. Tropical Storm Lee was moving towards the Louisiana coast today, bringing substantial but intermittent rain since yesterday. I wasn’t really worried about flight delays but I did think street flooding could keep us from the airport. The ride to the [...]

August 26: Progress
Nearly two months have passed since my last post. Seeing a June date on my homepage after all this time has finally compelled me to throw another entry on here. I had planned a nice little summary of my month of jury duty at Orleans Criminal District Court but I couldn’t muster the enthusiasm. I [...]
