Further Proof that God Hates Me

So yesterday, I was hanging out on the street with my roomate/co-worker and the street exploded. And no I am not exaggerating. Iberville street literally exploded from underground. Apparently some sort of electrical substation under the street exploded in a fiery disaster. As a result my apartment will not have power again till Moday or so. Fortunately my friend Ken is in town on business and staying at a hotel, the Ambassador actually. So at least I have a place to exist. I swear I have the worst luck! Also, I went to see Glenn's play last night, The Glass Menagerie. AMAZING! But honestly, what else do we expect but something stellar from Glenn. I will post again once I am no longer displaced.

Well I am back at work but still feeling tired. I think I got used to sleeping late for my time off but regardless. Glenn's play has met with great reviews from those that have seen it and matter in our community. I had a rather pleasant time talking to visitors both on my tour and at the Lantern where I was chaperoning Will. Not a lot of people out but I hope the next few months will be good. We will see. I am now watching one of my many mindless movies, Jackie Chan, I find him enduring. Not a great actor but he has given the spaghetti western a new life, just my thoughts.

Time Off

Well, I have been threatening too long enough. I have finally taken a few days off of work. I am very pleased about this but really don't know what to do with myself. We have been trying to deal with my car still and apparently it is going to take several weeks for me to get my new title. I am also going to be riding in the Easter Parade this year which is pretty exciting. Yesterday was St. Patrick's day and we had fun. I got to hang-out with co-workers after my tour and I am considering joining a crew, but we will see if I have the time for it.

Dad is Here!

Well after my Dad said he couldn't make it, he changed his mind and was able to make it down! I spent most of yesterday wandering around the French Quarter with him, his fiancee Ruth and her brother, his kids and some of hers. They were all a lot of fun. Tonight, I think they might also be taking my tour which should be fun as well. I miss my dad a lot at any given time, but as he and I have discussed, home just isn't where I belong. New Orleans is where I should be.

Sir! Sir! Are you ok? Call 911

So today was spent in part getting together the First Aid and CPR class for the rangers. One of my employees, Thomas has done an amazing job with all of this material, and I think the classes we are offering will go very well. Nothing too super exciting going other than that, although my father is supposed to be in town over the weekend which is pretty cool. I love my dad, and we always have fun when he comes to visit. It has actually been a while since I have seen him so I am pretty excited about that. I also saw Tosh and Charlette last night and they have started moving into their new home, which is super exciting for them. I just have to remember to get the costume I borrowed from her friends for the MOM's Ball back to her soon. Last night I shadowed Spoke's tour and of course it was very well done, even if she had a surly guest (see her blog). Actually, Tim came along as well so we had the Pink Tour Guide Mafia out in force. I think we should have shirts made!

Will is Back and Your Going To Get Some Liquor

Will has finally returned from Florida. I am very pleased about this. We got to hang-out a couple of times over the weekend and last night was his first night back at the Lantern. I know he had fun in Florida but we really did miss him here. Tim also came in last night and they are going to be putting his mom into a nursing home in Jackson. So he is going to have to find a new place to live so if you guys hear of anything, let me know so I can pass it along to him. I am also trying my hand at a little matchmaking for Spoke, not something I am good at but we will see how it goes. Man I am glad Mardi Gras is over!!!

Plague Strikes New Orleans

I am not sure what is going on but it seems that everyone I talk to is sick. The total is up to ten now. I am used to the post-Mardi Gras milais but this is ridiculous. I just hope I don't end-up having a round with it. Updates: Tim is doing well, his mom is still in Jackson and he is getting back into work (although he is one of the sick ones right now). I haven't really heard from Will since Mardi Gras but I believe he will be returning to the Lantern next Sunday. Rick leaves on Wednesday morning. He and his boyfriend George came on my tour the other night then we went out to catch the show at Starlight, one of the first times I have been in there in months. I miss my friends there. Also, I talked to Ken (who is also sick) and he is planning on coming down for the Crack Whore Ball in a couple of weeks, if I can get tickets that is.
