The American Library Association Annual Conference in New Orleans is over and now I have entered a state of total relaxation by the pool at the Lion’s Inn in the Faubourg Marigny. Yesterday I couldn’t even rouse myself for lunch between sunning and floating in the pool. We’ll see if I repeat the pattern today. Fortunately Scot arrives tomorrow and we’ll probably be a little bit more active (although he will certainly need his poolside time as well. I’ll try to post some pictures that include us later in the week, and possibly even muster the energy to post a little about post-Katrina New Orleans. In the meantime until Scot arrives, all that’s missing is a poolboy serving me hurricanes as I lounge.
