I really need to pay more attention to the local news. This morning I cut through the French Quarter to get to work. I saw two 20-somethings walking the street with a John Kerry sign. I waved politely and drove on. At noon, I jogged to the riverfront on my usual route. As I turned the corner at the Aquarium of the Americas, I saw an armed coast guard boat in the river and barricades in Woldenberg Park. People were streaming into the area. I asked what was up, and was told that John Kerry was speaking at 1:15. I'm a political junkie, so I briefly thought about hanging around, but I wanted to finish my jog and I've got too much work to do today.
