Trip to Natchitoches

I had to get up early this morning to accompany Dad on a little car trip to Natchitoches to pick up Jeff from school for the Christmas break. I think we left around eight. The trip up there was over five hours. About hour or so into the trip up we passed the Tanger Outlet Center, a rather sizable strip mall with a collection of outlet stores. We stopped and went to the Gap store for a little while. I ended up buying some shirts and a pair of jeans. There were other stores to visit but we kinda had a schedule to keep. We got back on the road for the rest of the trip. We arrived somewhere around noon. After stopping at a gas station, we made our way to Jeff’s school to pick up him and his stuff. We were at his dorm for a few minutes while he got his stuff together. After getting things in the trunk we left and stopped at a nearby McDonalds for lunch. We got food to go and ate on the road home. I had my usual. On the way home we stopped twice for a few minutes. We got home sometime after seven. We had leftover red beans for dinner. I watched Man on Fire in the late evening.

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 [...]
