We celebrated Mr. Zeglen's 80th birthday a month late with a shootout victory by the Calgary Flames and a wonderful visit with Andrew Mangiapane. The 88 was very kind to Mr. Z and we appreciate the incredible support from the folks at Raze Sports.

Check witnessing The Star-Spangled Banner before a hockey game in Chicago off of the bucket list. We've wanted to see this in person since the stirring rendition at the 1991 NHL All-Star Game at the old Chicago Stadium during The Gulf War. Nothing better.

TCFFFV on TikTok The Star-Spangled Banner at The United Center in is beyond spectacular. Have wanted to witness this in person since watching the 1991 All-Star game at the old Chicago Stadium. YouTube it. Senators Blackhawks

This one hurts.

RIP Steve Mackey.

Welcome to March in NW Louisiana! We're off to a great start!

Here's some advice: don't park in a fire lane to save 15 seconds and threaten a disabled veteran with violence for calling you out. The vet might deploy a tactical pen to defend himself. (The gentleman told people nearby that it was a knife. Sure.) But please do take the vet's photo for public shaming. Best part? We gave the scofflaw our business card!

Please, kind Sir, please spread the word about how you were in the right and we were in the wrong. Please.

It must be a generational thing. But we'll still invite him to GloryFest '23! Maybe he'll learn something about consideration for others.

Proud to announce that our new friends at Joney Jefe will be setting up a table at VFW Post 4588 on Fri 4/21. We met these honey purveyors through Anna Lee's Revolver, so they can’t be all bad.

We have Guitars for Vets, Shreveport providing information about its unique program for veterans. We have Good Cravingz Food Truck LLC filling our bellies. And now we have delicious honey products, too?

We'll see you this Sunday for the Krewe Of Highland Parade 2023 and the performance by Anna Lee's Revolver at the Byrd Wrestling Fundraiser @ Highland Parade!

Let’s discuss lunch today at the wondrous Marilynn's Place:

1. The duck and chicken gumbo special was spectacular.
2. Beignets for dessert? Duh.
3. Service and ambience? A++

Chef Boz Baucum and his team do an extraordinary job. It’s about time that MP gets nominated for a James Beard Foundation award!

We've selected MP as our foundation's official restaurant, too.
