Local Cheese and Other Developments

Some recent news from the northern Gulf Coast:

Two weekends ago, I found out I passed the bar exam and and bunch of the old gang was in town for Merritt's wedding. That was a good weekend.

Last weekend I was in New Orleans for Jazzfest and other festivities. It was a big time, as usual. Saw many good acts and ate some serious boudin, meat pies, etc. Another highlight was going to Sucre, a great new chocolate shop.

This past weekend was big for Mobile. First, it was announced that we'll be getting a big steel plant, then, the Battle House Hotel and RSA Tower had their gala openings. They both look great. Here's a picture I took a couple nights ago.


Also, Mobile's Market on the Square has opened for the season, every Saturday morning in Cathedral Square. I found out from The Bread Lady (that's her name) there that there is a cheesemaking farm in the area! I had no idea! Sweet Home Farm, down in Baldwin County near Elberta, not far from the beach. Looks like a great place!

Otherwise, I've just been working and catching up on projects and organizing. Exciting times.
