Back from New Orleans in a cranky-ish mood. Things I hate, in no particular order, are librarians in sensible shoes, drunk people, streets that smell of stale beer and piss, humid weather, ALA, snobs, nudges, long lines, and ladies who lunch. [okay, okay, don't take it personally. i should have written 15,000 librarians in one place, in sensible shoes...] On the plus side I got to hang with a smart and kind YA author (hi SR), spent an afternoon in a swamp and a morning at the aquarium, and vastly enjoyed the city's iron fences, old gravestones, big 'gators, little jellyfish, and great food.
My first photos of New Orleans are now up. Enjoy.
