I count my blessings in disguise.

That was a head scratcher.

I see two major conferences, the SEC and the Big 10. The rest will be in the minor leagues.

I would park and go somewhere within walking distance to the Superdome.
The whole French Quarter is within walking distance.
Galatoire's is our favorite. You can borrow a coat at the front door.

And a little closer is Domenica in the Roosevelt. For night games we usually go to the wine and pizza happy hour at Domenica but the timing doesn't work for the 3:30 game.

Even closer is the Copper Vine next to Walk On's.

True. That is one of the benefits of the ocean cruise.

Our first Viking cruise was in the Bordeaux region of France and they made available to us some fantastic and expensive wines that were not on the regular wine list.
On the Grand European they had some very good wines from the countries we were visiting.
On the ocean cruise, we just had the regular wine list.
In Santorini, we drove through scenic vineyards on the way to Oia and were given rave reviews of the quality of the wines.
Back on board, I asked a bartender in the atrium lounge if they had any wines from Santorini. His response was “Where is Santorini “. When I informed him that we were in Santorini at that very moment, he got the head bartender who told me that we had not a single bottle of Greek wine on board.
I found that surprising because the first five days of the cruise were in Greece.
No problem. The French and Italian wines did just fine.

We should be pursuing frivolous lawsuit claims but if they are talking about ending this nonsense, maybe that is a good thing.

ETA
If the SEC refuses to disimess it then screw them. The only reason we can’t pursue this for frivolous lawsuit damages is because they forum shopped this to Alabama.

I never left.

I get the silver spirits package for the premium wines. I think it is worth it although I found that the quality of wines was much better on the river cruises (especially Bordeaux) than the ocean cruise.

I started with Mike III in 1966.
I am convinced the stadium was fun for most of the tigers except for one of the recent ones who wouldn't get into the cage without prodding (and even gentle prodding is now considered cruel and unusual punishment).
And we are better off without that idiot who left because Landry wanted to bring a tiger back into the stadium.

I truly don’t understand why he closed the Rivertown Gendusa’s.

I was at a function that he catered last November. He was saying that business was so good he wanted the bigger and more prominent location. The new place didn’t last eight months. I know s lot of restaurants throughout the years that should have just left well enough alone.

Gendusa’s may have been the best restaurant in Rivertown since Le Parvenu closed years ago but the other two have live music.
