5 senses in New Orleans

[marathoner452]

I saw ships above my head as I drove and biked home along Chartres, which never fails to remind me that yes, I live below sea level.
I smelled the sunscreen I slathered on at lunchtime, so as not to get burned subbing outside in PE all day.  It was something like 90* today with full sunshine, high humidity and just enough of a breeze.  Perfect for spending the day outside as long as you can sit in the shade.
I felt exhausted by 7 hours of being outside, but went for a run anyway.  Then I ate ice cubes and took a cold shower and now I feel reasonably undisgusting and sweaty, with the fans on and the A/C on and wearing a comfy tank top and drinking lots of water.
I tasted homemade bread pudding in the teacher's lounge at Leo E. Kerner Elementary down in Lafitte.
I heard Kenny Wayne Shepherd over and over en route to subbing this morning, mostly "In 2 Deep."

That's a good CD, isn't it?

Did you steal that icon from me? :-P
