SLIDELL, La. -- Question: How do you move 2,500 square feet of furniture into 1,000 square feet of apartment?
Answer: Rent 200 cubic feet of storage space for six months. At least, that's Bobby's solution.
After their house in Slidell sold three days before it was even officially put on the market -- and months before construction on their new Slidell home is complete -- Bob and Les found themselves squeezing much of what they own into mini-storage on Saturday.
With help from all quarters, they moved their essentials into a nearby apartment. (Thankfully, it is a first-floor apartment.) Everything else went into storage, save Kelly and Steven's swingset, which was placed on the wooded one-acre lot that will one day host their new home.
Now that the old house has been jettisoned, and now that they are living in somewhat cramped quarters, they are expected to move quickly to begin construction.
Naturally an address change has been made, although their phone number will remain the same. The new address is 173 N. Military Road, Slidell, LA, 70461.
IS THAT A SEAL?
HOUMA, La. -- Mike was on hand to help Bobby and Les move, but he was a few hours late showing up.
Don't worry, though, he had a darn good excuse: He and Lanie were up until 3 a.m. the night before with a croupy Sam.
Sam went to bed Friday night sounding fine, but after Mike came home from putting the paper to bed at about 1 a.m., he heard funny noises from the baby's room. Those noises quickly evolved into
FROM THE FILES: Here's an old photo of the New Orleans gang, taken about a year or so ago on the balcony of Betsy's uptown apartment. It's a fine photo, but who's the guy standing behind Bobby? It's definitely not James Van der Beek, that's for sure, but he is one sexy devil. (Anonymous photographer).

what sounded like a seal's bark, leading to a date with a steamy bathroom.
The makeshift sauna, of course, remedied things, but when Lanie took Sam to the doctor first thing Saturday, she found out he had not only croup, but two ear infections.
Antibiotics have been prescribed, as well as four daily doses of albuterol via a ventilator, which Sam is NOT a fan of.
The little guy is in high spirits, though. Aside from that initial cough -- which has not returned since Friday night -- he has been a trooper, showing no signs of sickness.
A GOOD CAUSE
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Bobby may have gotten a good time in the recent half-marathon he ran, but now he has to share the spotlight.
It seems Michelle on Sunday ran in a March of Dimes 15K -- that's around 9.5 miles for the metrically impaired -- and came in 1 hour and 25 minutes after crossing the starting line, according to Robbie.
The race was March 25 in Gainesville and in conjunction with that city's Walk America 2000 campaign. According to a Sunday story in
the Gainesville Sun, the event has "evolved into the nation's top Walk America per capita based on participation."
Drop in at the message board and congratulate her on running a good time and for supporting an even better cause.
GIVING IN
CHICAGO -- Appar-ently the big city has gotten the best of our Bridget.
In a recent e-mail, she confessed she has stopped suppressing the urge to mock white trash, no matter how much it confuses Chicagoans.
"I decided to stop resisting the constant urge to use the phase 'aw, bra.' I now use it on a regular basis, despite the fact that Chicago folk think I'm referring to my underwear.
"Since my decision, several of my friends here have started using it as well. What did I expect? It's catchy!"
Um. OK.
QUOTABLE QUOTE:
"Stuffed cabbage is the way to go. I'm sure Lanie knows the side effects of a Scott eating cabbage, though."
-- Robbie, responding via e-mail to Mike's call for cabbage recipes.
