    Flying to Florida panhandle tomorrow. Spending cinco d mayo in New Orleans, got reservations at Emeril's there, show at Preservation Hall, checking out the cemeteries and French Quarter. 2 weeks to check out whatever is there or neighboring states. Any suggestions? Based near Destin but have car for day trips or overnighters to interesting places. Main interests are history, music, and meeting Real American locals. No Disney or modern tourist crap.

    Emeril's is a bit overrated if its anything like his Las Vegas offerings. The BBQ shrimp is good though.

    I'll pick my sister's brain and get back to you on places to visit. I haven't been here long enough to really know much. She works for Florida Fish and Wildlife and knows some pretty neat places.

    Should be a good time to go. I would imagine the weather will be nice.

    Just because someone is carrying Snapple and Skittles doesn't mean you're allowed to shoot them.

    It's super muggy right now. And watch out for the mosquitos. I am getting eaten alive lately.

    I was thinking Maris can come meet me and we can smoke some bath salts and eat some faces during a game. Blazers Playoff Party!

    Why do you guys always confuse @MARIS61 for @jlprk?

    Heading down your way Monday or Tuesday. Was going to bring some weed but my buddy Damon Stoudemier said those TSA guys are super smart.

    It is not easy to discern the differences between 2 geniuses.

    I'm the taller, better looking one.
