Back on the Chain Gang
Just a quickie post before heading off to Delaware for the weekend. Saw the Pretenders last night with Rob Y. at Roseland Ballroom. All I’m sayin’ is that I hope I can rock that hard when I am Chrissie Hynde’s age. I have one more week of craziness and then I’m of to Hawaii —

Mmm . . . Cheesesteaks
This week’s destination is sunny Philadelphia, where I haven’t been in a few years. Although I’m going for the Equal Justice Conference, my mind’s really only on one thing. Take a wild guess.

Crawfish!
Gotta love it when you smell a crawfish boil halfway down the block and stumble upon this in the doorway of Royal Grocery in the French Quarter. I didn’t eat any this time around because we had just come from lunch at Acme Oyster House (finally! oysters on the half shell + soft shell crab
