Making the Best of Things

A friend (who does not live here) has inquired whether I intend to sue the City of New Orleans for the decrepitude of her sidewalks.

Do you know how much it hurts to laugh so hard?

Taking New Orleans to court is Sisyphean:

• You sue.
• You win.
• You wait.
• You die.

Sometimes it's better to just accept your fate. Besides, at my age, it's time I get new teeth. I'd love some interchangeable bridges for, like, you know, day or night wear, formal or lowdown.
