Oh - don't think I ever told you my funny Mississippi river story - I have a tradition sometimes on New Years/Birthdays to go down to the river and write down everything I am ready to be rid of on a piece of paper, cork it up in a bottle and toss it in the river... a symbolic riddance. Well, the first time I did this, down by the Governor Nicholls wharf, I tossed my bottle in as far as I could and watched it wash right back up on shore at my feet. So I threw it back in as far as I could and ran back up the bank without looking back!
