I'm still all tired after the trip, so I'm not posting anything tonight either. I'll think I'll go to bed at a decent time and feel much better tomorrow...

Back from the Pelican State!

May 14th, 2008 (11:49 pm)

We are back from Louisiana! We got back last night, and I'm still tired tonight so this will be short (more later?).

We are going to a wedding in Baton Rouge this weekend, and then will spend a couple of days in New Orleans as tourists.  See you next week!

I used to buy cheap commissions (of Ariel, mostly) on eBay a lot, but I haven't done it in several years. Until a couple of weeks ago, when I got this on a whim:
