Hey all. I know I haven’t written in a while and at least a hundred thousand of you, my dear readers, are wondering WHAT IS UP WITH KEVIN EH?<\/p>\n
Well, last week was hectic. Most of you have heard the story, but here goes: Mark and Liz and Kit<\/A> and Stacie<\/A> all helped me move, and that was beyond fantastic. They stuck around until Sunday morning, and so I got to show them a bit of New Orleans. I mean Mark and Liz had been here before, several times, but Stacie and Kit hadn’t. I’m super-grateful to them for helping me move and giving me just a little extra bit of home once I arrived (by their very presence).<\/p>\n This past week has been me dealing with the slow sludge that is any kind of involved or bureaucratic system here in NOLA. Monday I went and got my bank account set up, which took forever. Tuesday I was going to go to the Office of Motor Vehicles to get my LA license but there was a screwup with me, cash, the bank, and the ATM so I didn’t have funds to go take care of issues since the OMV doesn’t take credit cards. Wednesday I went to the OMV and suffice to say it was an adventure, being sent to a different office in a different parish (you know they don’t have counties down here, right? right) and then sent to multiple rooms within the second office just to find out that there’s a hold on my old ID because I junked a car and didn’t turn in the tags. Thursday I got up at 5AM to take a friend to the airport and then got over to the OMV at 8AM and got all my problems resolved, finally. I now have my LA license which is important because that’s how I get my employee discount at our stores. I also tried to do some Christmas shopping on Magazine St. but I forgot that nothing opens until after 10AM so I had to go back later that afternoon.<\/p>\n Today for once I slept in, almost until noon. That felt good for sure.<\/p>\n What else have I been doing? I had lunch with an old friend on Thursday and that was great. My neighborhood is great – strange quirky things<\/A> are everywhere<\/A>. I make the occasional visit to my new favorite coffee shop<\/A>, I got lunch at Stein’s Deli<\/A>, and for a few nights in a row we had amazing fog<\/A>.<\/p>\n I may be supposed to be meeting (boy that phrase is clunky) Kate from NYC tonight somewhere downtown to go party but I’m not sure. We’ll see if that happens.<\/p>\n And best of all things: Casey will arrive tomorrow, so this place finally won’t feel so lonely – not that it seems like I’ve had much time to sit around twiddling my thumbs.<\/p>\n You all come visit now, y’heard?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hey all.
