the faretracking service i signed up for over at ms expedia while demonstrating something for a screen shot for the third edition of my busy people book sent me a notification that roundtrip fares to and from New Orleans for the first weekend of Jazz Fest (the weekend B and I want to go this time) are currently $196! At that price we may not even want to use the miles B has stockpiled for a free ticket this time around.

well, i have to run and do the grocery shopping now. we're all out of water (important now that they put chloramidine in our tap water here in the bay area) and a few other basic necessities, and I don't want the rest of the day to get away from me.
