Today I got up a few minutes early so I could ride out to Metairie and check the club Post Office box. There was a check from Active.com for Tour de La registration fees, and there are probably a couple more en route. It was a real nice change to ride through the city and parts of "Old Metairie" in the early morning before traffic picked up. I eventually made my way back to the levee just in time to catch the little Friday group at Jefferson Playground on its way out. Realdo was heading the other way when I got there but I didn't have a chance to talk with him. Nice steady ride today - typical Friday. It was overcast again and we had a very light drizzle out toward Kenner, but otherwise the ride was unremarkable.

Yesterday evening we met with the roofer to pick out the color and all, but I still need to get the cash from the insurance company in order to move.

The Daughter is still quite ill. The doctor today told her she has tonsilitis (like you need an M.D. to tell) and changed her antibiotic to some sort of penicillin but damn, they need to find out what's going on here. Sending her home and telling her that they would "mail her the results of the blood work on Monday" just does not cut it when you're running a 102 degree fever. If she's still that sick by Sunday she definitely should not be making a 14 hour drive. So we're calling in the troops and her doctor may be getting a call from one of the doctors down here.
