No injuries were…

Yesterday I did a quick check on availability at the No. 1 public course in the country. If you have $495 and a free wish, it looks like April is a good month to play Pebble Beach.

CORONADO — A well-manicured lawn stretches out in front of Spanish Revival town homes. Cobblestone courtyards contain beach cruisers and brightly colored patio furniture. A hose snakes between potted dogwoods and wind chimes sing in the ocean breeze.

The Navy sends John to a few conventions a year, to less-than-exciting places like Panama City. When he asked me to tag along with him for a quick jaunt to New Orleans, my mind wandered off to visions of the historic and colorful French Quarter, dining opportunities at a few of the well-known chefs' restaurants, and a welcome break from the legal world.

Tired, cranky and hungry after a…
