Remember, Columbus Day was created as a direct result of the upright citizens in New Orleans lynching 11 Italian-Americans exonerated in the killing of the city's police chief. The killings were lauded by many US leaders and prompted major fallout with Italy.

Happy Tan Suit day!

My lovely son, after eons of study, testing, and training (and some drinking), has received his coveted sommelier certification. Downside is that I have to buy some fancy wines to obscure the swill I normally drink.

My supply chain management skills are suboptimal. I am running out of painkillers but still have plenty of pain left.

Young woman directing people at the door looked at me as I stepped off the elevator, took my paperwork, marked it in the corner, and said "dismissed."
I asked if she needed to hear what the request was, or check my ID.
"No. You're clearly over the cutoff age."
Thanks, I guess.

I was supposed to report for jury duty Friday at the Orleans Parish Criminal District Court, but I had spent most of Thursday in the ER at Southern Baptist and wasn't feeling the civic duty thing.
Couldn't figure out how to apply for the exemption online so I went in person.

The upside to kidney stones is that it keeps my Fitbit happy. It is impossible to sit still so you're always standing up, walking around, sitting down, fidgeting, standing up, walking around. Repeat ad nauseum. Got 1k+ steps in the ER waiting room. Security guard was keeping a close eye on me.

How many mothers did you take from their children today? How many people at their regularly scheduled immigration interview? How many people with green cards and valid visas?
