Canal Street

(Canal Street and street car tracks.  New Orleans, LA.)

I was going through the photos I took when we went to New Orleans last year and kind of like this one.  It’s one of the last shots I took and it was taken through the window of the shuttle bus on our way back to the hotel from JazzFest.  The out-of-focus lights remind me of the strings of beads that are hanging almost everywhere throughout New Orleans.

Nothing much new here in the Bogs.  I had a blissful weekend.  It was relaxing yet productive.  I don’t think I realized just how awful the Cold From Hell made me feel until I started feeling better.  It hasn’t left me completely.  My sinuses are still gunked up and by evening I start to sound a little hoarse, but the all-over malaise is gone.

Last week I was able to exercise more and that means I’ve added to my mileage for the year (the goal being 1200 miles).  Without further ado, the total so far:

• 76.38 miles

Hopefully I’ll be able to step it up some more this week.  I’m not sure I’ll be able to hit 100 by the end of the month, but I’m going to give it a good try.
