Power outage

Entergy took advantage of school being out for Thanksgiving break, and chose today to turn the power off for a few hours in order to change some equipment out.

I worked this morning at a table in Cups, a coffee shop in our neighborhood, and had this inspiring view all morning.

I used to work in coffee shops all the time, before the pandemic. But now, I’m used to working from home, with two large screens. I felt like a pioneer or something, working from my tiny laptop.

Roosters

Friday night is our date night, and it has been for our whole relationship. Date night sounds a bit hyperbolic for what it is – we go out to eat in a restaurant. But we do it every week – we might miss 3 times a year, usually due to my work schedule.

There is a rotation of maybe six restaurants that are our “normal” ones, and we sprinkle in new places and sometimes, they move into the circle of six and one of the old ones drops out.

But one that has been in the circle almost since we moved here is Roosters. It’s burgers and salads and meat and two entrees with a Louisiana heritage. I love their red beans and rice, Renee their country fried steak.
