On Cuts.

Laundromat.

Just now, I was able to book an appointment with a barber I’ve never met, to sit in a chair I’ve never seen, to give him jurisdiction of my crown for 15 minutes. I will give him $25 and I will leave. It will have been a transaction of necessity and ease and I will [...]

I recently traveled to New Orleans for a quick trip.  I hadn’t been down since before Katrina, so I was excited to experience the city, and do some serious eating.  I love Cajun food, oysters, seafood, etc, so New Orleans is the Mecca.
