I am happy to announce that Herbology is alive and well in New Orleans. This past Sunday, I found myself elbow-deep in dirt, with smudges of loamy soil embracing my face and smells of several different forms of greenery wafting up my nose. I found my Pure Joy, and was insanely glad to be in a…

Breaks in the Routine
You have to have them sometimes. They shake you out of the daze of your daily grind. Even changing at what part in your morning process of getting ready for the day you decide to brush your teeth helps. Recently I made some larger daily changes, revolving around my work schedule, that completely adjusted my…
A New Orleans Summer Recipe
You will need: -1 bathroom, with a bathtub. Preferably one without windows or ventilation, or, in a pinch, one with a window that never opens. -1 large wool blanket. Army issue perhaps.

Last weekend, we rounded the bend into Jackson Square and came upon a very floodlit St. Louis Cathedral. Lit up for the benefit of all the news and…
One Month Later…
Last weekend, J and I were driving down St. Charles Avenue and saw just about everyone out at Audubon park, wearing shorts and t-shirts and playing volleyball. Later on, last week, I was meandering through the garden center at Home Depot, the sun a gentle-warm on my back, the breeze wafting the smell of blooms…
On the Road, Off the Grid: Take Deux
If you can believe it, here we geaux again! Amazing. Just amazing. When J and I threw in our hat and came back to Colorado, this very moment right this second felt eternities away. Standing on the desolate shore of the Other Side of Summer, back in June, feeling disconnected and uncertain and failed and…
The Wall
I’d mentioned The Wall a couple of times in entries from this summer, but it was not yet fleshed out or filled up enough to share. Thus, today, I present The Wall which, I suspect, is more than likely as fleshed out and filled up as it will get while we are here. Forward momentum…
