At my invitation, W went with D4 and I down to New Orleans to the Aquarium of the Americas today. It just reopened last month, and it was great to see it restored and as great as it was before Katrina killed most of the fish.

D4 had a wonderful time, and that was great, but it seemed that W and I don't have much to talk about anymore. Her whole life centers around OM, and we don't talk about him or things they do together, so that doesn't seem to leave a lot left. W said she had a good time, though, and there were some fun moments.

There were also several trips down memory lane, as we spent our wedding night in the Wyndham Canal Place immediately next to the aquarium, and we remembered seeing a lot of the Caribbean fish from our honeymoon or from our cruise in 2003 ... definitely bittersweet.


The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth." (Psalm 145:18)
