Let me start by saying – WAY TO GO HORNETS!!! Stop & smell the good news because the bad news is taking over our attitudes – ya know what I mean? Let’s face it, for the most part -the news just sucks & is depressing! But, if you are like me – you are somewhat …
“If you tell the truth you don’t have to remember anything.” ~Mark Twain~ * Took my daughter to Dot’s Diner for breakfast after her appointment at Ochsner (corrected spelling) in New Orleans. What a little gem of a diner with large helpings and also very inexpensive. Our waitress Danica was adorable and my daughter was …
It is only 1 hour – enjoy!
My 1st post from the day is here and the picture of me & the Jazzfest Queen Irma Thomas is here (bad picture of me). My Flickr photos are here. On to this post… There is something about explaining the feeling of Jazzfest that I want to convey to you as a write – but …
Update: My Flickr Photos from Sunday Well worth trudging through the 6″ puddles and getting soaked to the bone today- was this photo opp! This photo took place 5 seconds before the heavens opened up and poured down on us! I had just put my jacket on 2 seconds before this photo (barnacles). OMG – …
Well – I survived. I guess I even more than survived – I had a pretty good time. I am my own worst critic!!! I have already been told that my microphone was not shut off during a break and everyone could hear me yapping away GRRRRRR. I also know I talked over my intro …
Heck ya!!! I haven’t made it to Jazzfest yet (hopefully Sunday)- but Friday night at the Mandeville Trailhead was great for a family when someone had to work after 5! Tonight we saw Johnny Sketch & the Dirty Notes – they were great! I enjoyed seeing all the little kids dancing, sitting on stage and …
Besides the fact that you might get shot (just kidding tourists), trust me – you somehow, directly or indirectly, know the person you just flipped off! I mean there is small town and then there is big small town and then there is New Orleans. I’ve written a couple of times in the past about …
*** The House of Blues: I chaperoned a bunch of 6th graders to the House of Blues for a field trip. I was more excited than most of them because this was my first time there &… WOW! $12 for my kid (including bus cost) and $5 for me – this was soooo worth every …
Rob Schneider’s character in the Water Boy cracks me up when he yells “You can do it!” We are all like the ant moving the rubber tree plant or Rosie the Riveter – we are all significant cogs in the world, our state, our community. We can all make a difference somehow on some level. …

I took this picture at the Audubon Zoo(where they all axed for you – LOL). This picture screams – give me a caption! ***KMG can be enjoyed on NOLA.com & my personal blog. Don’t miss Kiss My Gumbo radio on WIST AM 690 – Saturdays from 3:00-4:00. Always looking for interesting guests. E-mail me if …
Feedback is welcome. Trust me I already picked up on 100 things I would have done differently – I’m my own worst critic! Talk radio is awesome and I adore the folks at WIST AM 690 for giving me a chance! Listen HERE
Saturday was an absolute marathon day for the Princess of Positive. A baseball game for son #1, the premier of Kiss My Gumbo radio on AM 690 WIST, a wedding, the reception and…pirates on Bourbon Street. OK – Scout’s honor I am not making the pirate stuff up. And, fwiw (for what it’s worth), New …

It all started with a $1300 boat trailer bought 5 years ago. It is literally going to take an act of freaking Congress for me to register the boat trailer in this state. Yes, this is the very same trailer that we bought when we bought our boat at Bass Pro in Springfield, MO. Get …
