Today I did "normal" stuff in New Orleans. Went out for some Dunkin Donuts in Metarie, drove by some old places I lived (a couple were destroyed in Katrina, that helped me understand, just a little, what it must be like for people who live here now), went for a walk around uptown, got a haircut and beard trim, shopped for groceries and went to a movie at a local theater.
