Fourth in the Quarter

Yesterday was the Fourth of July and, after a full day of being dedicated NEA members and being all about the business, we relaxed on the roof-top terrace of our hotel in the French Quarter. JoAn's daughter Amy and I swam for a while and we then watched the fireworks over the Mississippi River. After the fireworks, Amy, Turner, and I took a brief stroll on Bourbon St. which, was unfortunately packed with middle and high school age youngsters and thus we did not stay long.

On our way back to the hotel, we stopped by our friend Royal Rick's restaurant. After visiting with him for a while, we called it a night.

Today will be a very long day. We have 89 new business items to debate and vote on in the next two days and it's going to be brutal. I definitely need to get some sleep but I really don't see that happening.
