Monday Twaddle

You know how some blogs are just a bunch of links to
news articles and stuff? I don't see the point. I
think of blogs as sort-of journals so if you're just
linking to other places it defeats the purpose.

So, you don't see much of that here for two reasons:
1) see above, and 2) I'm not good at the "fancy
stuff." How do people learn to do that stuff anyway?
Is there a class? A website? Do they ask friends?
Most of my friends are as computer illiterate as I am
- anyone who knows is not sharing. It doesn't really
matter, though, because there's a bunch of crap on the
internet put up by people just as computer-unsavvy as
I am and I can say that, except for this blog, I
didn't contribute to much of it. I'll try to keep my
crap confined to this space. (Maybe I should change
my title to "Keep A Firm Hold On Your Web-Crap?)

Anyway, I just received an amazing email from Yahoo!
Travel - American Airlines is running a special fare
from here to NOLA for $163 round trip! That's a
fantastic price, but I just tried to figure out a good
itinerary and kept coming up empty, AND it looks like
the fare starts May 23 and extends through the summer,
but who in their right mind wants to go to NOLA in the
summer? The last time I was there was in late June
(2003) and I couldn't breath and walk at the same time
because of the humidity. (On the other hand, most
hotels have air-conditioning and, who needs to walk
anywhere - that's what cabs are for, I guess!?!)

Unfortunately, that great fare does not extend to a
time when it's humanly possible for Westerners to go
there and live through it.

I don't know, though, $163 round trip is a damn good price. Maime, you want to
go? If you can figure out a good itinerary, I'll go.
Just tell me - but not in July or August, pleeease.
