Report from Cafe du Monde

The place was packed this morning, with cameras and reporters covering the scene from all angles. I met my boss/neighbor Anne Gisleson and her husband Brad there, and we had a couple of plates of beighnets and coffee. The price has gone up about 30 cents an order, but all else is unchanged.

Jackie Clarkson came by, and after Anne introduced me I made the mistake of saying "I was at that meeting the other night..."

To which she replied, after a bit of a pause, "That was nasty."
