I speak not of un des rois de la France, but of mon ami Louis, a native of Lafayette, LA. I briefly mentioned him in my story of SOTW the other night. Louis was the Chemistry TA at ADVANCE in 1996 and 1997 when I was an RA. He was in town for a few days and stayed with me Friday and Saturday night.
When I got back to the apartment this evening, a package was waiting for me. I hadn't ordered anything, but sometimes things come unexpectedly. It's not until after I sign for the box that I actually look at it. When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, but a King Cake sent directly from New Orleans, LA. I figured it was from either my mom or my sister, but it turns out it was from Louis, as a way of saying thanks for letting him stay. I haven't had much King Cake the last few years, so this is a very pleasant surprise. There's even some beads and a doubloon or two as an added bonus. C'est nice.
