Well my daughter's u9 rec league soccer team somehow got scheduled with a u12 competitive team and lost 22-0 today, with the other team having to pass 3 times before being able to get a shot off
Wait, so they're keeping score now???? No more "Participation Trophy" for showing up and playing, no matter how badly by games end.
I've been eating food prepared by Rocky & Carlo before there was a Rocky & Carlo's and they worked at Angelo's a bit farther down St. Bernard Hwy. when they first came over from Italy.
Once they broke away from Angelo and formed their own business, that helped put an end to Angelo's business.

Lots of good stuff on the menu. The spaghetti and meatballs is awesome.
I'm a big fan of their fried seafood. This time of year will find me either getting an oyster po-boy or oyster plate since it is what I consider prime oyster season. Their oysters are large and fried to perfection being crispy on the outside and still moist and delicious on the inside.
My wife is a big fan of the veal and mac & cheese, although she doesn't like gravy with it.
On a couple occasions I've had their steak and it too is done very well being broiled in their salamander type broiler.
My wife came home with 2 boxes of them a few weeks ago and she got them from a friend of ours who bought a dozen boxes from a neighborhood girl. He doesn't eat them and just gives them away and when my wife wanted to pay for them he said "No, just take them".
For the size of the box and the size of the cookies, they are making bank on those things.

Does the 1963 movie show more of Fletcher on the pitcairn island?
It's been many years since I saw that version of the movie, but memory says there wasn't much in the way of their lives on Pitcairn Island
I've seen all 3 versions of it over the years. The 1935 version had Charles Laughton as Bligh and Clark Gable as Fletcher Christian.
The 1962 version was with Trevor Howard as Bligh and Marlon Brando as Christian. I found it better than the first version.
For me, the best version was the 84 version with Anthony Hopkins as Bligh and Mel Gibson as Christian. Also, smaller parts played by Daniel Day Lewis and Liam Neeson.

Fireman.
There's not a lot of money in being a fireman. That is why most firemen I know work a second job on their days off and make as much, if not more money doing that----------most in the trades-----plumbing, carpenter, electrician etc.

rocky and Carlo’s
That's my go-to when in "Da Parish". Fair prices, good food and if you walk away hungry, you just didn't eat all they gave you in the plate.

Been a long time but the girl from our neighborhood was found behind a Church's Chicken either in or behind a dumpster. Was pretty shocking back then.
Is this the gal who worked at Church's Chicken on St. Claude and Caffin Ave. back in the late 60's or early 70's. If so, I was a friend of her brother and went to school with him at Chalmette High.

Where I’m from would be this guy. There’s also a documentary on it called Bayou Blue
Ronald Dominique
I've seen a couple shows that profiled that guy and he was one sick puppy, but ingenious how he got so many young men incapacitated before killing them. Hell of a ruse he thought up and able to pull off time after time.
To look at the guy, he looked like he would be scared of his own shadow---and that's what made him so dangerous.
In New Orleans, I'd go with the UpStairs Lounge Fire that killed 49 people in the summer of 73. It was a popular gay bar in the French Quarter.
A guy named Roger Dale Nunez was questioned and thought to be the person who started the fire but the evidence was not strong enough to bring charges. He died by suicide in the fall of 74.
Nunez was known to have psychiatric issues and had been kicked out of the bar earlier the day of the fire.
In total, 49 men died from all walks of life with 2 of them never being identified.

When I was in that 12-16 yr. old range, it was nothing for me to eat 6 hot glazed donuts with a glass of cold milk, and still want more but was run off so others could have some. As I got older I would eat 3 and feel bloated afterwards.
I haven't eaten a dozen donuts total in the past 20 years and really don't miss them.

When I was a kid, about 55 years ago, me and my family were at West End and saw a flat boat with about 15 sharks in it. They were all about three or four feet long and caught in the Lake. But I’ve never seen a live one in the Lake.
I'm 73 and spent a lot of time swimming in the lake as a kid. I can't remember anyone in our family having A/C to ward off the summer's heat and I wish I had a dollar for all the times me and some of my cousins would take busses to the lake and wind up swimming and tanning all day long.
I can only remember one time where we actually saw a small shark swimming near the seawall in the area we swam in, and it didn't stop us from getting back in the water.

In the fall I was in Hoss Memphis stadium watch my Mighty John Ehret Patriots
That was also West Jeff's home stadium-----oh, and it's Hoss Memtsas, not Memphis.
Named after Harold "Hoss" Memtsas who was a standout football player in high school and college and eventually coached at Warren Easton, East Jeff and West Jeff.

There's a lot of things I find myself curious about, but other people's bowel movements don't even hit the list.
My high school days ended upon graduation in 1970. Friday nights in the fall were spent at Chalmette Stadium watching the Owls play football and then heading over to a friends house to shoot pool in their garage and drink a couple Carling's Black Label beers.
Other times during the year I would be hanging with friends or camping out along the Mississippi River batture with a couple of my cousins and spending most of the night fishing, building a big fire and enjoying our freedom from home.
Once I got a steady job, it was getting some sleep to wake up at 4:30 to be at work for daybreak in the summer months.
