The Thang

My plan was to leave my vehicle at Morning Call and run to Stifler’s Mom for the 0530 start.  However, my penchant for tardiness and my not so blistering 11:30+ pace put me well behind schedule.  Fortunately I was able to contact Swampcock and he met me on the route.  Once we joined forces we sat out like bats out of hell headed for Morning Call.  Despite the super sonic pace Swampcock set, we enjoyed some good conversation.  We arrived at Morning Call a few minutes early and were later joined by Fracsac and Da Parish after their Okwata beatdown.  Swampcock set a new record for the number of Cafe Au Laits consumed at a single coffeeteria and then we jumped in the Explorer and headed back to Uptown.

This was a great way to start Thanksgiving Day.  I have a lot to be thankful for.  Like Swampcock, I am a transplant to New Orleans.  A lot of our conversation centered around our decisions to move here.  They were good decisions.  So many of the things I am thankful for are tied to this great city and the people that live here.
