My home internet shut off today. I have also made the discovery that I am completely inept at writing anything longer than a sentence or two via my telephone…I just don’t have those mighty thumbs. This means that this will be my last blog entry until I arrive in Louisiana next week and get Molly…

Things One Sees When Walkin’ the Dawg
It is typically rare that I have either my camera or my phone with me when I take Toby out for his walks in the park next to our apartment building. Not enough pockets to juggle a photo-taking device, my building keys, pooperscooper bags, AND the dawg himself! Last Friday, though, I DID have my phone…
High Watah, Birthday Rituals, Gator Feet
Last night, I took my friend Cody to see the Mississippi river. He was ecstatic, and slightly overenthusiastic, trying to climb down the rocks off the levee in order to touch the water. He didn’t want to swim in it, thank goodness, but he just wanted to dip a finger in. This was up on…
And Then, of Course…
…shortly after my previous post, I came across some photos on a blog I read weekly, from New Orleans, and saw the roots of an oak tree shoving up through the brick sidewalk, and when I see that sort of thing, or other images similar to the ones I took myself (shared below, quickie pull from my…
Misty Day, Reflections
Wednesday finds me in a better mindset, regarding the Vibe thang that had me in such an emotional dither yesterday. I went home after work and, after having a decent cry on J over a couple of cardboard boxes, we had a chat about all of that, and the various philosophies of grief. It is…
Meanwhile…Hey Look, More Street Art!
The signs of imminent change are beginning to sprout forth, in several different ways. There are emerging blank spots in our apartment, where things used to be but are now all packed up. THAT will become ever more the case, starting this weekend, now that we have the Massive Pile of Boxes at our disposal. …
Voodoo Jar, Part 3
Voodoo Jar finale and job-interview update, all in one. Last week was sitting-on-eggshells stressful. After a smashing 1st interview, J proceeded to hear nothing for the entire rest of the week. I spent all day, every day, glued to my phone, waiting for a text or a call from him letting me know that he…
Mardi Gras
Happy Mardi Gras, world! Greetings, from my desk, for I am at work. Just about everywhere else, save for New Orleans and other places along the Gulf Coast, today is just a Tuesday. The same holds true where I’m at…but I’m doing the best I can. I’ve got the Mardi Gras Parade Cam running, via…
Voodoo Jar, Part 2
This will, I’ve discovered, become a 3-part series. Last night, I sat down to finish the painting on the Voodoo Jar by completing the other side with Agwe’s veve. Immamou is the name of his ship. It’s strange, but I hadn’t thought of this until it reoccurred to me last night while painting, but Agwe is said to be a…
