Colette


This is the birthday [1873] of Colette, the memorable French writer.  Here is why I think we would have gotten along very well....

"Voluptuaries, consumed by their senses, always begin by flinging themselves with a great display of frenzy into an abyss. But they survive, then come to the surface again. And they develop a routine of the abyss: 'It's four o clock. At five I have my abyss.'"

Happy Hour, anyone?

It is Mardi Gras time again!! What better place to start the party than the famed Sazerac Bar at the Roosevelt Hotel in New Orleans?
