The stairs to hell I read about Lili in a Deccan Chronicle article this morning, and thought we were lucky to get a reservation for six tonight. Bamboozled is more like it. First of all, there were two flights of stairs to get to the restaurant. No elevator, and a railing on one side only. …
I grew up listening to Neil Diamond, and appreciate his music even more in my middle aged years -- still getting used to that defining characteristic! I saw the Broadway show, A Beautiful Noise, about his life and career, and have a handful of his records. His songs blend in with Brandi Carlile, Allman Brothers, …

For the same reason I never really visited Savannah or Charleston until recently, I had never been a tourist on the Golden Isles, like St. Simons or Jekyll Island. Most of my family lives in Louisiana, so family trips were there, or we would meet in Destin if we wanted to be on the beach. …

When I left Atlanta Tuesday morning, the low was 72. the high in Maine was 75. When I returned early Sunday morning, Atlanta was a high of 89. What better time to go to New England where the highs are in the 70s and low 80s? Stats: 1294 miles traveled 6 ice creams 5 days …
In every city I travel to, I have a favorite building or place. In New York City, I love the Morgan Library and Museum and the City Museum of New York. In New Orleans, it’s Jackson Square. In San Diego, it’s La Jolla. In Washington D.C., it’s Arlington Cemetery and the Library of Congress. Books …

Anyone that knows me can tell you I am a lover of art, music and movies. Above all, I absorb history. I read encyclopedias and books about president as a child. I’ve been called “Sravipedia” before, and I play trivia with friends almost every week, and usually win! Growing up in New Orleans, Louisiana, Ocean…
