Betsy’s

Wednesday at work was rather uneventful. I had some things to work on and didn’t leave myself much to do tomorrow. That evening I started watching The Kid Stays in the Picture and 25 minutes in I couldn’t keep my eyes open any more. I went to bed uncharacteristically early at nine.Having slept so thoroughly the night before I was up uncharacteristically early this morning, but there was no milk to have an uncharacteristic breakfast. Dad didn’t eat before we left either and he decided we were going to Betsy’s Pancake House, a fixture of New Orleans I’ve not visited before. I probably should have gotten a breakfast item which they are famous for but I got fried chicken and baked macaroni instead.I mostly had housekeeping work to do this afternoon and by the end of the workday I had a clean desk. This evening’s Practicum class was a continuation of the resume dissections we did last week. Attendance was light and there were only three to get through tonight including mine. There was some constructive criticism of my resume although I was expecting more radical suggestions. Class was dismissed just before 7:30.Dad was waiting to pick me up afterward. He went back to the office after dropping me off to do some work so I didn’t feel as bad about him agreeing to wait around. I was dropped off at the LBC around eight so I had plenty of time to kill. I spent a portion of it writing this.We had a healthy crowd at ballroom this evening… somewhere around 40 I suspect. I had trouble with both the old and the new material. Afterward I got a cab home although I did have to wait a while for it.

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 [...]
