The more I lament my lost sidekick camera, the more I realize it was not really that great.

Bourbon Street, as E Willy P clearly stated, is "not worth it". In fact, I'll add that it's actually worth an effort of the mass destruction variety.

Well, I lost the hiptop camera as expected, so text updates from here on out. We're here at the airport, on our way to New Orleans via Houston.

Mardi Gras awaits us. --mlj

It seems like everyone I know is flying by the seat of their pants. If you're human, it's likely that you've got a tweak. History shows again and again how nature points out: don't follow your friends. --mlj

Being home has been awesome. Skating, surfing, family and an amazing time with Danette. --mlj

Sorry the site is so stale but I've been busy... Pictures of cocktails and waves coming soon. --mlj

I'm the only one in here. Big ass bourbon rocks (the bartender is a really cool guy but I think he has a crush on me) and some barbecue crisps. Mmmm....must not get loaded before getting on the plane. Don't wanna shake it up just as things are starting to go my way... More later. --mlj

Played Stanwood last ngiht and kickin' it at the Crider's waiting for tonight's show at the Factory. It's always hot playing in the 'wood. The old Quigzy guitar player's new band One Time Through played with us as well as Petey Caponey's Glamour Pets. Photos posted later... --mlj

Morning skates can be amazing and make the difference between a great day and a horrible one. The old men and young women come out to skate without meddling from the little kickflippers. --mlj

What a killer day so far.... Got some work done, skated Redmond park for 45 minutes, now I'm getting some teriyaki, and then I get to go back to work and read the decision on the antitrust case. Tonight? Who knows! --mlj

...here's your new shithole!

After 8 years I finally got a window and some space to stretch out. In a few short months and one group change later, and I'm back in caveland... Short lived bliss indeed. --mlj
