THAT was AWFUL.

It honestly did not occur to me that the grocery store would be a complete freakin' madhouse two days before Thanksgiving. (I know what it's like one day before, so I don't go.) I don't know whether to be impressed with the ability of my neighbors to plan ahead or grumpy that one day can create so much chaos.

Me, I went today because I need fresh baguettes for Use Up the Cheese Day tomorrow. I figured I'd do my regular shopping at the same time. Silly me. You can imagine what my feet feel like now. It took me nearly two hours to get out of there, and baguettes were just one of the many things they were out of.

There's only one Natchitoches that I know of! (Seriously, on sites like greyhound.com and mapquest.com, I don't even bother typing in the state).

That's cool! My teenagers want to go to the LSMSA next year. How did you like Natchitoches? We've lived here for just over a year now.

I loved it. This was back in '86 and '87, so I don't know how much the town has changed, but I really enjoyed the quiet of the NSU campus and surrounding area. It was fun to walk into town with friends -- we hardly ever needed to drive anywhere, the town was so small. Wonderful place to spend the most potentially turbulent years of high school, really.

I haven't been back there in years, but I hope to go back for my 20th reunion this May.

20 years. Damn. I'm getting old. :-)
