1. G was going to stand up last night and say “I see five people here I know to have substance abuse problems, so how can we shut out those actually trying to not be addicted?” 2. Smuck boo’d me when I said that allowing these people who are trying to get their lives back in order to live in a beautiful environment would help in their recovery – KS, “Oh brother.” 3. These arrested…
This morning, bright and shiny, well not bright or shiny, actually at dawn, I walked around the bayou and stopped at the LaLa to get in and look around at progress pre-K arriving. I stopped by J’s house and picked two gardenias and when I was inside the LaLa I put them down as I was taking Arlene off her leash. When I got back to the Can, I was miffed I forgot them. An…
S was walking Layla this morning and we caught up – I haven’t seen her in a while, but she’s having an exhibit at Carol Robinson that debuts Nov 4. She said she went by my house the other day and the carpenter allowed her to walk through, but he was totally checking her out the whole time – she said, do you think he thought I was going to steal something? And I said,…
The meeting about the Odyssey house was actually better than expected – there was a contingent who were beligerent – KS and her husband – actually booing me when I spoke – but whatyagonnado? In the end, we welcome recovering addicts into our neighborhood – surely they have more going for them than addicts? Right? G and I went to Chickie Wah Wah afterwards and E met us there for the Stanton Moore Trio –…
Who’d have thought that a woman’s topic would make it to a national business “person’s” newspaper. In BlogWatch in today’s Wall Street Journal is highlighted a woman’s blog about her journey through infertility – http://openingalldoors.typepad.com. Recently, she adopted a daughter from Guatemala – so when asked if she would continue with the drugs and treatments, she said, “There are two sides simultaneously coexisting – my desperate need to be a mom and my need to…
I spoke to my beloved Irish accountant in SF – he is truly the best – I ran by him everything I was doing with my juggling of money here and there and whatnot to get the LaLa done – he said it’s all good – I’m on the right track – now, he said, stay on top of the contractor to finish as quickly as possible. God, I love that man! I sent S…
that is not the jingle I was singing – the one I was singing was “rain rain go away” – what? – not loud enough? – it’s pouring over here and Vic is coming tomorrow to do my roof. The LaLa needs cooperation.

I got up before dawn this morning and took the Bean for our walk along the bayou – it was still dark as I was approaching the LaLa. The guy on St John Court who I usually see sitting in the chairs with H, was walking his dog, he stared at me (he was on the wet grass and we were on the sidewalk) as if he wanted to say something – I almost asked…
What a perfect name for a drug and AIDs rehab clinic – the Odyssey House – I guess it would be called that. They are trying to put one up here in our neighborhood and there is an outcry of NIMBY going on. I see both sides. As a home owner, I know that even multiple units nearby degrade the resale value of a home much less a drug rehab. But my conscience says everyone…
