Purring down the road.
We are purring down the road. OK, maybe “purring” is the wrong word. Perhaps “Roaring?” “Clattering?” On the road begins with dinner with friends. First in Lafayette, LA with LC Cambre. LC is a very resourceful prince of a man. …

Although we are currently undergoing severe croissant withdrawal in addition to Jetlag, we have successfully navigated our way back to Chicago. I suspect it will be a few days until we manage to stay up past 8:00 and sleep past…
