Major plane probs caused me to arrive in New Orleans for Greg and Susan’s wedding 12 hours late, which meant that once I actually made it there last Friday morning, I was go go go.

After a couple days of being extremely lazy, yesterday was certainly a turn of events. I headed to Brooklyn to meet Jen for lunch.

I met Susan for lunch today so we could discuss the baby shower we’re planning for Jen. Of course, most people don’t take random Thursdays off like me, so I met her in TriBeCa near her office. Since I am completely unfamiliar with the area, I had her pick the place and she chose the…
