It was a good weekend
Now Playing: Louis Armstrong - Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans?
Topic: Personal or Reflective
Friday night was the Sabres vs. Wild pre-season hockey game at Blue Cross Arena and yesterday afternoon was Custom Brewcrafters Fall Festival of Ales.

For those lucky enough to be at John and Becky's wedding, he finally posted a link to the official wedding photos. Well he did it on 9/7 but I only noticed it early this past week and haven't posted since. It was a long week (two all-nighters, mostly my own causing), tiring but productive.

I turned on AM 1370 at 6pm specifically for This American Life but had already the current episode so I scanned their archives and listened to two of their recent Hurricane Katrina-related shows.

The end of the second show, "This Is Not My Beautiful House" (9/16), featured a song perfect for New Orleans but also perfect for the mood of a late Sunday evening at home: Louie Armstong song, "Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans?" (mp3 download). Turn up the volume a little, make sure that you're in your comfortable corner chair with the reading lamp on and close your book for a second. Tap your foot and whistle along for a little bit.
