Merry Christmas, or Happy Holidays if you prefer, to everyone out there from all of us. My wife and I just got back from a trip to New Orleans. We did all the Touristy things- We took the double-decker bus tour and had a memorable seafood lunch at Dragos in the Hilton. Not only was the lunch great but included some of the BEST gumbo we've ever had. Along with that was the worst excuse for a Po Bo I have eaten at the French market. Gak! We watched a TV show filming on Bourbon Street while having a libation, from the back of a pedicab. Exceptional driver and guide. We had some alligator on a stick. I even managed to decorate my dark slacks with the powered sugar from a plate full of Benigets.  Well good for us.  What's the point? Well despite it being in the low 50’s temperature-wise and too cold for gators, and the water lower than normal, we still had a series of great adventures thanks to some great people.  When it is said and done, it is all about the people.  Time for a look back at  some of the lessons from last year and some thoughts on getting into  2024 (And by the way: That lake I was trying to pronounce is: Cataouatche. The Swamp Tour  is Ragin' Cajun and located in Luling, LA.)
