She's been telling everyone that I'm taking her to a symphony in Baton Rouge on that date. She most certainly deserves it. Spend the night at the Hilton downtown, nice dinner and everything. They're doing a rendition of Led Zeppelin as you fellas already know. Oh, the things I do - can't help it. No wonder the chicks tear me up :)
Sounds like a blast.....
Anna's is Jan 11.............too late for a double date. Happy Birthday to Ann.
Is it safe to walk around downtown there at night?
I wouldn't......and I carry...Quote:

Ann was also concerned about the Mississippi river rising and asked them about it. They told her it had to be catastrophic before it effected them. She asked them what their definition of catastrophic is.
I guess it's a good thing she's that way. Safety takes priority. Otherwise, I'd probably be dead by now due to some of the ignorant things I've done.
A symphony version of Led Zeppelin tunes sounds interesting.
By the way, downtown has been revitalizing with several restaurants, clubs and even a nice supermarket. Things are looking up for the area. Lots of people hanging out on weekend nights. Much safer than it was. Some places I can recommend on 3rd street City Bar, The Roux House and Boudreaux and Thibadeaux's. Also there is a place by LSU not far from where you will be called the Chime's. Great food and beer. The best shrimp and corn soup ever!!!
Mine is Jan 11 too!Quote:

I hope him and his entourage have cleared out by Friday. Don't want nobody messing me up while I'm being a tourist there. :)Quote:

Yes, JR, I'm very aware of that. I'm in tune to such things, the chicks rely on my knowledge. Don't tease me please because I'm tempted. Now, if it was Jimmy Page, it would be a done deal.
Taking the day off tomorrow at work. Board the puppies, and heading that way. Cabala's first stop for a couple of hours, then into the downtown area. I prefer to go to Cabala's then Bass Pro Shop because I'm into the items Cabala's has with the meat processing equipment, cooking items, etc. Their fishing equipment suits me just fine as well. We're going to spend the night there at the Hilton downtown. Ann says it's a renovated place that is on the National Historic Register, suits me just fine because she's happy with that. Dinner close by (can't recall the name), she chose it. Then on to the show - eighth row, dead center, orchestra section. The music of Led Zeppelin. Mercy, I did good for a birthday present for her.
The son in law told me that I arranged all of this because that's what I wanted to do.
Sounds like a great plan.....again, Happy Birthday to Ann.....if you like looking at cooking stuff, you must go to "Goodwood Hardware".....absolutely the largest selection in the south in a monster size store.....I could spend 2 hours in there just looking at everything.....I am sure you and Ann would love that store....you will not regret it....it is centrally located (map attached).....you can not see it from the road as it faces north on the south side of a big parking lot.....when you see a Burger King, turn into the parking lot behind the Burger King.....Didi and I will have the great granddaughter most of the day.....got to go get her in Denham Springs Friday morning.....hope you two have a ton of fun....Quote:
