Ah, March. I don't have an official bucket list. However, when the boss wondered if I wanted to go to a computer meeting in New Orleans I immediately recognized that that was something I had to do. It gets complicated. I don't like to fly, but I told the boss I could take the train. And he agreed! And he paid for a sleeper car instead of coach, as I take when I'm footing the bill. Sweet!
There was an eight hour layover in Chicago, so I went up in the tower. This is March 4th. Lake Michigan is frozen frozen frozen!
The train gave me a chance to see the scenery as we went south. Going through the bayou was the best part! It looked just like I thought it would after reading fictional stories set there.
I must go back to New Orleans! Most of our time was spent at the conference, but our hotel was on the edge of the French Quarter so we got a little taste.
March was also the spring Home Show at the MSU Pavilion. A nice harbinger of spring, but there was still snow on the ground!
