josie Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Been to NO. Hit me up before you go and I'll give you what we really enjoyed. It's an excursion set up by my former boss/editor and now good friend of the school magazine at RIT, reuniting most of the e-board and celebrating our birthdays (we both share september 14). She's already planned a dinner at the Commanders Palace, a place with a dress code. Other than that, cemetery wanderings, gator feedings, and drinking in the french quarter, where we're looking to rent an airbnb. I've never been, so any advice is absolutely welcome!!! I'm looking forward to another jaunt to a new place- that'll make two this year. Fantastic. I wish we had the time to drive- I'd love to take the Natchez trace and weave (ha!) my way to the coast.

Derrico Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 After about 5 weeks of being out of work, I am FINALLY starting the new gig on Monday. It's a little stupid that I'll only end up being there for 6-8 weeks at this point, but at least I'll still have about 2 weeks of overlap with the person I'm supposed to learn from, and it'll be nice to get a paycheck again. My dad got his temporary tracheostomy removed this past Monday, and the lymph node biopsies they'd done at the time of his surgery showed no signs of metastasis, thank God. It's been a long time coming. Great to hear Bio and good luck on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfreeman Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Bio -- regarding New Orleans: what a great place for a weekend trip. (I got engaged in New Orleans, once upon a time. She hasn't left me yet.) Go see some live music. Also, IMHO, the po' boy is an overrated sandwich, but the muffaletta is really good. Those are lunch options though -- you will have a great dinner just about anywhere. Have a great time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know how it feels to be jumping around jobs. My last vacation was June of 2013 and that was three employers ago. My current job actually gives me vacation time so Jo and are I thinking a little weekend trip to New Orleans with some friends in September. Boy will that be nice.

Derrico Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Weather is suppose to be sunny both Saturday and Sunday with avg temp of 25 and 26 degrees (77 and 79 for you yanks :flirt: ). We've got passes to go to a waterpark on Sunday and I think Saturday calls for a day at the beach followed by a BBQ and campfire. Life is good :beer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halifax is a great place to visit and to live, but I would stay away when those dastardly Maple Leaves from Toronto are in town for part of their training camp this coming September.

That Aud Smell Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 If you're in the Buffalo area, you know we had some of that fairly unpleasant swamp ass weather earlier this week. The weather today? Beautiful. (Albeit a bit cool -- whatever, I love it.) That moment you realize you won the breakup hands down... it's ###### fantastic. :beer: Ha. Nice. Just don't go that Darcy route by winning all of the breakups, but failing to build a team that can go the distance. ... Or have that one rock solid team that you did build be struck low by a foul bacterial infection. :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biodork Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 My dad finally gets his feeding tube removed today, and my stepmom had successful wrist tendon release surgery earlier in the week and is feeling much better. I also got to come home a day early this weekend (even if it will be mostly spent sitting around and waiting for a contractor at the house). If you're in the Buffalo area, you know we had some of that fairly unpleasant swamp ass weather earlier this week. The weather today? Beautiful. (Albeit a bit cool -- whatever, I love it.) Absolutely. A few days this past week were so humid you could barely breathe, but today (and the entire weekend) is beautiful, sunny, and dry. Love it.
