Feisty Repartee

A Fine Time

What could be better than enjoying the sights, sounds, and tastes of one of my favorite cities with a group of people I have come to know and love as friends?

There were many familiar faces and a couple of news ones, too.

My man, Sam is just a powerhouse of a human being. Considerate and kind, he is also the go-to-guy when it comes time to put a plan into action. This trip would not have been possible without him; however, it would not have been half as fun without his lovely and talented better-half, Barbie. The two of you are a delight, I am so pleased to have been able to pass the time with both of you.

Kelley, Kelley, Kelley. This woman is one of the most amazing human beings I have ever had the pleasure to meet. She is gracious and kind with a dynamic charisma that could warm the most frigid of souls. Just when I think she could not be any sweeter, she opens her mouth and out pops one of the dirtiest (but damn funny) things I have ever, ever heard. Notwithstanding her off-color humor, she is a lady through and through.

Darlin’ Denny is the man I want to introduce to my mother. (That’s a good thing.) I like and respect him that much. He is independent, articulate, and intelligent. Hop in that beamer, man, and head on over to see me. Bring that Italian recipe you told me about and I’ll prepare the rest of the meal. We have a date!!

Shoe, baby, is one of a kind. Behind that sweet smile is a devil woman ready to party! Unfortunately, I was not up to speed to partake in most of the adventures involving Shoe. I’m just damn glad she graced us with her wonderful personality. She doesn’t live far from me and I’m hoping she heads on over this weekend for a BBQ at my house. See you there, honey, and bring your children.

The quintessential Velociman was in rare form. He is erudite and well-spoken as he is base and incorrigible. The man defies classification and convention. All I know is that I want this man in my corner when push comes to shove.

Miss Key is a loving and gentle soul ever ready with a smile and a kind word for everyone. There is never enough time, but I am fortunate to have had several opportunities to sit down and visit with her this trip. In fact, we need to talk about that female blogmeet at my house in the not-too-distant future, lady.

For those who are unaware, the dude known as Dash and I go way back. Suffice it to say, we have a history. I’m not sure what he expected when he signed on to head down to New Orleans, but I think he had a great time. As the ladies in attendance will probably agree, he can be both charming and sweet. I hear tell he can dance and party with the best of them; however, the pansy I am retired early and missed out on the closing of the bars on Bourbon Street. Dash dancing is certainly something I would have liked to see.

The delightful Karen braved the unknown when she appeared at Margaritaville at the appointed date and time. She has that energetic “Yat” accent distinctive of Nawlins and a delightful personality to match. She is one lady I’ll be calling the next time I head that way.

The elusive Yabu is one wild man. When least expected, he would pop over, pinch my behind, and whisper some of the most interesting things in my ear. Thanks for the drink, man. I hope to return the favor sometime.

My bestest girlfriend Susan is quite simply da bomb. Elegant, intelligent, and refined she can discuss politics, economics, and world events with insight, then without batting an eye, she’s groovin’ with the best of ‘em and ordering jello shots for a crowd. This woman has it going on!

Last, but certainly not least, is the witty, handsome, and articulate Zonker. This man has a profound generosity of spirit and soul. Often quiet and unassuming, he can be assertive (“Christina, wait. DO NOT walk the Quarter alone, I WILL go with you!), as well as a force of will when challenged. I cannot imagine a blogmeet without him. Zonker, you are a good friend and I cannot wait for you to make that trip to Texas!

That’s it, folks. A grand time was had by all.

Same time next year and everyone is invited!

We just returned from the Blogmeet in New Orleans, and I’ve got to tell you…it was boring. Being stuck in NOLA with Christina, Kelley, Velociman, Dash, Key, Zonker, Denny, Shoe Baby, Yabu, Karen, and Susan… was well…the BEST TIME I’VE... [Read More]
