1. The awesome brick wall and huge windows in our hotel room.
2. More fried food than I would ever care to eat in a week (highlight or lowlight?)
3. Being asked to take photos with some of my authors.
4. Reconnecting with "conference people" friends.
5. Braving Bourbon Street on a Saturday night.
6. The awesome live music at our bar of choice on Bourbon.
7. The young (sober) man who, just before exiting said bar with his buddies, told me I was extraordinarily beautiful. (Extraordinarily!)
New Orleans, I wish I could have seen more of you. Thank you for not flashing me. Man Who Called Me Beautiful, you made my night, maybe even my year. Thanks for your sincerity.
