Kristen and I had a GREAT time recently staying at a friend’s beautiful home on the bayou recently - fishing right off the porch, and even some otters playing along the shore. FULL of crabs fluttering around too - if you are looking for a cajun getaway we HIGHLY recommend.

Please feel free to shoot me any questions.

Inevitably your computer slows down. You try to open a website and it grinds to a halt, or read an email and it churns along sluggishly. A slow computer, in many ways, is worse than a broken one—or at least infinitely more frustrating.
