Now we all know!<BR/><BR/>Only one of my coworkers came over to where I sit yesterday and she seemed to take it in stride, even though we've really only started to get to know each other. I think most of the folks I've worked with know I'm nuts, so nothing to keep in the closet there. I believe the subcategory is "eccentric but harmless" though OCICBW.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06090720645937634051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9222643.post-33251992340075196502008-06-08T18:04:00.000-06:002008-06-08T18:04:00.000-06:00Pelican Homestead was a savings and loan business ...Pelican Homestead was a savings and loan business in New Orleans, which must have been located in the building near the markers. The S&Ls were called homesteads back in the day.<BR/><BR/>Very nice pictures. I'm sure the girls had a wonderful time. Do you take the pics with the girls in full view of your co-workers? Do they think you're nuts?June Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01723016934182800437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9222643.post-83058451917146901152008-06-08T08:41:00.000-06:002008-06-08T08:41:00.000-06:00Way to go, Fran!

Those girls are the best!!<BR/><BR/>The second photo brought back a unique Nola memory of mine (its been awhile since I launched into one of these...)from 19??? I can't recall.<BR/><BR/>Maybe 1990. <BR/><BR/>I was at a Big Ass Convention for my former industry. There was a party at the top of that tall building. I was very pleased to be standing there watching a very large chef Paul Prudhomme zipping around a makeshift open kitchen on a little motorized cart, like you see in the supermarket - supervising the food prep. He would literally dip a finger into a pot of something, consume the sauce off of said finger and pause... Then it would be deemed fine or not. If not, a set of instructions was shouted out to the cooks. <BR/><BR/>Imagine someone sticking their finger in food today and not getting arrested. It did not bother me that he did this BTW, that's just how I roll. The food was amazing - sublime - delicious - unreal. <BR/><BR/>After we ate the music began and I stood in front of the stage, which was a slightly elevated riser type thing. There - not 10 feet from me - stood Aaron Neville who sang his heart out.<BR/><BR/>It was like being in a church for the senses.<BR/><BR/>OK, shutting up now.Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07181529277715646835noreply@blogger.com
