Big game & Big Easy

Paula and I took in the West Virginia-LSU football game (the Mountaineers lost to No. 10 Tigers, 20-14) in Baton Rouge, Louisiana before heading down to New Orleans for a few days, where music gushed from every building orifice on Bourbon Street along seven blocks restricted to pedestrians. There was St. Louis Cathedral, sitting within spitting distance of aged Preservation Hall jazz performers, streetcars, the cemetery from Ann Rice's vampire novels. And all that jazz.

Louisiana became the 44th state that I've visited, to go with the 33 countries, since my 1996 retirement from the Beacon Journal.
