Oh sweet memories . . .

My second New Year's greeting was a pleasant surprise from Jyl Bonaguro, a friend and compatriot of pre-Katrina New Orleans. She is now at the Evanston Art Center in Illinois. She is very busy with her own company jbdezigns.com and she has four shows scheduled for 2009.

I miss our opera nights (our not too secret plans/dreams to rebuild the Old New Orleans French Opera House), our museum nights (will it be Ogden for live music/lecture series or NOMA for the vintage film series on Thursday?) and White Linen Night (should we wear white linen, it wrinkles so). We have had some good times together. Perhaps I will make it to Chicago to join Jyl for a night at the opera yet. Take care my friend and thanks for the memories.
