Another beautiful day. While walking the dog this morning, I bumped into all sorts of people whose company I enjoy. The texture of any given day is richly textured and densely woven. When lives unexpectedly intersect, enjoy the moment.

There is a book review in today’s Wall Street Journal that I find interesting. The book is called Happier Hour. It is written by Cassie Holmes. It is 308 pages about how to spend time in ways that make one happy. I am not going to buy this book. I think I already live this life.

Here is a quote from Ms. Holmes that made me realize that I do not need to read this book: “You are the artist. You’re not just an observer, subject to passive viewing. This is your time. . . . The mosaic you create is the magnificent life that you get to live.”

I do not think Cassie Holmes is onto something. I know it. I live in New Orleans time.

Let me tell you about it.
