I’m reporting from my first visit to NOLA, where Genelle and I are celebrating our 24th wedding anniversary. For me, the French Quarter’s main draw has been architectural, and we have now spent many hours wandering its narrow streets imbibing its historic essence. The filigreed balconies and private courtyards suggest a stately calm completely at odds with the touristy bustle of a holiday long weekend. Genelle pointed out this building, and we felt its banner nailed the local ambience. On deeper reflection, it also captures something essential about our first twenty-four years together. With luck, that special something will continue to infuse the next twenty-four. Laissez les bons temps rouler, mon amour!
