Seasonal

Festival International De Louisiane is this Wednesday through Sunday (Apr. 23- 27). City police are making preparations for the influx of people, and traffic to the Hub City. Several parking restrictions will be in effect downtown during the festival.

I've been a fan of Steely Dan since high school. The band that gave us rock classics like "Reeling in the Years," "Do it Again," "Rikki, Don't Lose That Number," "Aja,'' and ''Hey Nineteen'' has announced a 2014 summer tour.

ThA major TV network is planning a summer docu-series about single parents, and their teenage children. They're looking for teenagers, aged 14-20 and their single parents to embark on a summer adventure to be filmed for air on a major TV network.

This Acadiana winter was vicious and hit plants hard, especially outdoor palms.  Driving around one can find dead palms, both small and large, in yards all over our area.  But are they really dead?

. I put a load of towels in the washer Tuesday night and forgot all about them 'til Thursday night. This isn't the first such occurrence, or second, or third, or...

You may not think of a team that went 12-6 last season as being in a rebuilding stage, but the New Orleans Saints are. They're clearly looking to rejuvenate their roster. Will Smith, Jabari Greer, Jonathan Vilma, Roman Harper, and Lance Moore were big contributors to the first Super Bowl Championship in franchise history, and are popular with fans.

People have been asking me, "When's Downtown Alive starting up?" The answer is....March 21st! The spring 2014 season of DTA kicks off with The UL Big Band, and Johanna Divine in Parc Sans Souci. There will be fewer events this season, but bigger bands. Yes, it's still free!

I LOVE Loretta Lynn and my girl has a song that may just be the perfect breakup song, especially if you already have your eye on someone else.

Picture this, 5 guys who can really sing take to the streets and burst into song saluting random women. Add flowers and you have 5 guys making this Valentines Day really really sweet for complete strangers.

With Eli playing for the Giants, whose home stadium the game is being played in, and Peyton playing for the Broncos, I DON'T want Seattle to win this game. I lived in Denver for a couple years, along with several family members. The first NFL game I ever attended was an AFC championship game at Mile High Stadium.

With schools all over Acadiana closing the past two days because of inclement weather, a question arises. Will these days have to be made up?

This is the first I've heard of this: one of my co-workers asked me if I knew how to pronounce "Ro-Tel" properly.  I told him that I didn't know that there was another way to pronounce it!

If you can't park your car in a garage, or other protected place, cover the windshield & mirrors. Auto parts stores (if you can find an open one) have windshield washer fluid for sub freezing temperatures. If not, put rubbing alcohol in your windshield washer.

Tom Brady has been selected to nine Pro Bowls, and is a three time Super Bowl champion. He has, however lost his last two Super Bowls to New Orleans native Eli Manning, and the New York Giants.

Tonight is one of, if not the largest mardi gras balls/show in Acadiana and Bernadette Lee and I will be the hosts for the evening.  Last night was rehearsal, and I snapped photos of Bernie in all her craziness.

Keeping your holiday poinsettias alive isn't easy.  But with a little TLC, you can do it.  Here are step by step instructions.

Follow Santa around the world via the NORAD Santa tracker!

Holy crap, Kmart's new 'I Just Ship My Trousers' commercial is hilarious!

Law enforcement agencies have teamed up statewide to keep drunk drivers off the road, and save lives.

I'm not a native of Louisiana, but January will make 35 years since I moved here. A side trip to Colorado from the fall of 1986 to spring '89 reminded me that I really don't care for winter. I loved it when I was a kid. Blizzards meant school closings & I had a snowmobile. Wh...
