Happy birthday to your wife! You must be much younger than me, I don’t recognize either of them but I hope you had a great time!
 
Went into New Orleans tonight to see a concert. It's still a beautiful place, all things considered.

There's great food, like the best food, great music and just old wonderful buildings. Sadly like most big cities these days, crime is up. It's great to live an hour away lol that's perfect.

I lived an hour from San Francisco for 40 years and spent lots of time there, going to ballgames, going to shows.
I loved SF.
The lights, the people but I'd never live there.
It was nuts.
So I know what you mean my friend.
 
That's amazing Luis! So much activity and everyone getting along!
Thanks my friend, The truth is that everything is going better than I imagined. I thought I was going to see some fights and more with the behavior of my clownfish but everything is going great.
