I rarely mention the professional occupation that allows Mrs. King and I to pay our bills. We are artisanal hoteliers. Should you ever want to meet me in person, all you have to do is pay. You can stay in a colorful mansion on Esplanade Avenue in New Orleans, Louisiana, in a little slice of heaven. Welcome to my world.

Mrs. King just told me that a regular reader is coming to stay at La Belle Esplanade. I will need to be on my best behavior. Does art imitate life, or, does life imitate art? I guess I will have to ask this new acquaintance. We are going to have breakfast every day for over a week. Happiness loves company.

Please be aware, gentle reader, that you can have breakfast with me every day if you stay at La Belle Esplanade. I really am this way in person. It will be nice to meet you in person. If you are in town anyway, we can have lunch. It will cost you. I am setting up the app so that you can book an appointment. Happiness loves company.

It is 3:27AM. I am talking with Boy George about her living situation and career prospects. Strike up the band and let the fireflies dance in silver moonbeams’ sparkling.

I will wink at you from around the corner.
