Audience members watching the credits of “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves” at an advance screening today. In #NOLA. I think they liked it. (I did, too, actually. Review to come.) #dungeonsanddragons #DungeonsAndDragonsHonorAmongThieves #movies

I not only feel your pain. I live it. Two big, beautiful oaks loom over my pool, which apparently identifies as swamp. Thinking about just accepting it and filling it with duckweed and water hyacinth. #NOLA
I loved growing up with pool in the backyard. But some sadistic pool builder built said pool under oak trees and let me tell you how much that sucked.
