Impact Fusion

Kelly didn’t believe me when I said I knew where to find the best jazz music in the world. In fact, she flat out said that I was either lying or simply delusional. I had to laugh at that and though I confess to be a bit touched, I’m certainly not a liar and I do in fact know where to find the best jazz, in the world. So, to end the discussion I told her to get into the car and we drove all night and most of the next day. Fortunately we are young and carefree and it was the beginning of Spring Break, and on top of that neither of us had a job.

Dang, looking back on it I see it as much more than a great trip, oh and the chance to prove myself right, but it this really occurred during the time of our lives. I once vowed never to classified a particular period as the time of my life as it didn’t seem to give any of the other time periods or phases a chance. I’m going to have to give this some consideration and work toward readjusting my current circumstances or I might be doomed for good to always look back on that year as the glory days. Ugh, how pathetic and I’m only twenty four, but three years ago I would have considered someone who was twenty four to be pretty old, so I guess I know what that makes me.

But alas, I continue to digress and need to get back on topic. Like I said, we drove all night and most of the next glory day. We were so tired when we arrived in New Orleans that we stopped at one of the hotels in city. There are many to choose from and some of the New Orleans luxury hotels also have great jazz music in their lounges. However, the next day we kind of wandered around a bit and then I pulled her into a place on Bourbon Street. We could actually hear the music from the street and Fritzel’s patio was full of happy patrons. We found a great little table by the fireplace and I listened and waited for Kelly to admit she was hearing the best jazz in the world.
