Great people...great minds...great stores...

Excellent dinner last night - great chefs and hosts. Great stories of mud flats, brothers, sons and sisters. Lots of laughter. Everyone finally arrived and we sat and talked about days to come. There's the buzz of excitement of all working together. The house is huge and purple. Two houses together as Ernesto states. Met people from Annies, Cliff Bar, Numi Tea, Seventh Generation.Timberland and of course us from Eileen Fisher. Had a great discussion on Timberland boots with everyone's views. Walked some of the blocks and down Magazine St. passing the voo-doo wedding house. Excellent decor! Some stores vacant, streets and sidewalks are buckled from roots of trees - no one knows if it's from Katrina or just age. The homes are beautiful. Some are kept, some vacant, some need lots of work. People just sit on corners or on their stoops. We walked for coffee this morning seeing the Sunday worshipers in their best duds. Must be a hospital near by - Lots of people in scrubs. Breakfast is about to begin, then off on a tour - kick-off dinner tonight. For now....
