I am, I think, a slightly different person than the one that rolled out of Colorado nearly three months ago. How could one not be? I have a better sense of who I am, of what I want to do, the things I want to pursue, of what I’ll put up with (not much, ha),…

Dear New Orleans
New Orleans, I write this with a gaping wound in the middle of my chest. You see, we have to leave you, and it breaks my heart. This heart is, quite literally, on the ground, smashed into miniscule bits. New Orleans, I love you so much. So much so, that we arrived on your crescent…
An Epic Stroll (Warning: Contains Sweat. And Also a Bead Dog.)
This past Friday, I had it in my overly-active mind that it would be a Good Idea to spend 9 hours on foot in the Garden District, wandering the Magazine St. corridor. See, J is working now (YAY!) on ‘Zine St., often needs the car for work, and this thereby renders me stranded in The Room…
Gratuitous Cute-Dawg Post
You know, sometimes you’re not out and about exploring your terrain and having new exciting adventures to write about.

Exploring, Wandering, Passin’ Time
Applying to jobs in a new town, or anywhere for that matter, involves a lot of time spent playing the Waiting Game. Playing this Waiting Game all cooped up in a hotel room in Metairie defines, I think, a whole new idea of Stir Crazy. Truly. Don’t get me wrong, we haven’t been hiding in…
Back on Track
And now, I am finally back on track, at least as far as the blog goes. The reason it took me so long to catch up on all of that is due to WordPress EATING my posts. I got all the way up to that Recap #3, which was the Louisiana one, which was the one…
Homecoming
Coming to New Orleans on vacation and staying in the French Quarter and relying only on your feet and the streetcars is one thing. Driving into it and finding a place to park is quite another! Needless to say, when we went down to the FQ that first Friday in town, it was a very…
