New Orleans, Saturday Morning. Things done and to do.

OK, so I’m in New Orleans. Had a decent sleep and I’m almost ready to let the day really begin. Yup, I’m gonna have another cup of coffee.

I got into the hotel around 10.00 last night, the hotel is fine. I’m up on the 17th floor so I have wonderful views of even taller hotels and office towers.

I did go down to the hotel lounge last night for a beer and something to eat and I have had an Abita Amber already. Wonderful stuff! So that is one thing off my to do list. Also had a Blue Moon which was quite nice, too.

Now, this morning I’m off to do the ONE THING that MUST BE DONE at the SBL conference (besides putting on pants): PICK UP THE TOTE BAG!  Then I’m off to meet Stephanie Fisher for some lunch, then a few sessions and the Secular Biblical Sudies meeting this evening. And more Abita.
