Today is a travel day. I am scheduled to land at 3:15 pm which means I will probably not get to attend Michelle Obama’s opening session at 4 pm. I am a bit disappointed, but I know the few days I spend here will be filled with all sorts of other celebrity moments, the highlight of which will be the Sibert Awards ceremony on Monday morning.
For the last month, every time I spoke with my mom she’d ask “Have you been to New Orleans yet?” And then she’d add, “It’s on my bucket list.”
Well, she didn’t get there, so it is my intention to go and take her spirit with me. She was a lot less inhibited than I – have I got a Cartagena story to tell – but I will do my best celebrate in a way she would enjoy.
