This is where I will find myself in less than a week! I’ve never been to New Orleans before and am so unbelievably excited about my weekend in the French Quarter with some of my old college roommates. However, it means that this next week is going to be chaos: I’ve got an article to write for Tahoe Quarterly, a newsletter to send out for Star Resort Group and some tweaks to make to a website that I’m working on with the very talented April Marriner. On top of that, I want to get some instructions and meals put together to make Jason and Nora’s first ever daddy/daughter weekend a little easier, and spend as much time as possible doing fun things with Nora—I have a feeling that being away from her for three nights will be much harder on me than it will be for her!
Welcome!
