Friday, August 20, 2010. Last Burgers And Fries At Home. Another tropical storm wannabe has passed through New Orleans--the third one this year. Not much in the way of winds, but brief downpours of attention-getting ferocity. I'm glad I didn't have to drive the Causeway in it.
I stayed home from the station again today, the Last Day When Mary Leigh Will Both Wake Up And Go To Bed Here. Today's Last Lunch menu: hamburgers and fresh-cut French fries, which is a bigger production and creates more of a mess than most of what we cook around here. (Most of the bother involves the fries.) That ritual was accomplished in late afternoon, right before I went on the air. The Marys went out to buy a few more things the junior member will need for her dorm room. I don't think either of them will be this excited when Mary Leigh gets married.
Late lunch means no supper. After the radio show, I sat around the living room with the Marys and watched a few episodes of Frasier. Last time (of about a thousand) for that, too.
