the rest of today

Today was quite a busy day.

So on Sunday I went to a meeting with some folks who were interested in going down to New Orleans in November to help out where possible, and somehow I ended up as the liaising/ admin person for the trip. I must admit that I'm kinda enjoying it, checkout out flights, following/ figuring out schedules etc. It's not something I would normally so am enjoying the challenge.

New Orleans, although it's largely out of the media now, is still seriously suffering from the after effects of Katrina so a small group of us (a bunch of older guys and me) are heading down there to do what we can while the opportunity is there. I'm seriously looking forward to it!

My afternoon, however, consisted more of battling with online programs to pull together invitations for an up and coming event, and others attempting to extract some audio from a piece of video. (The latter is still eluding me but I refuse to be defeated in such a way.)

A note on dinner. Corn on the cob is amazing here! Grilled on a bbq in particularly. Their grown locally so maybe that has something to do with it, but the taste is fantastic!
