Licketysplit is the goddess of good ideas and comfortable footwear. I have been so heartily welcomed- I even received this handsome cell phone and fruit basket! As marv of a time as i am having, I am not long for this corner of the land. On Thursday, I am headed for the Big Easy (stifle your chortling, Lickety). It’s the beginning of a two week road trip, destination L.A. Along the way, my pal Jim and I plan to see giant oaks, an exodus of bats, greasers, and maybe even greasers with bats. We are also going to stop in Las Vegas. As if the desperation of that town won’t be palpable enough, we are stopping in Roswell, New Mexico.

Gonna skin me a crocodile!
