Purple Martin Majesty

I rode my bike uptown yesterday morning to go to the gym and I realized that I love my bike – for whatever reasons my bike and I are going through some sort of weird love affair right now where I can’t wait to get on it and once I do I don’t want to get off. Stopped by the LaLa because P was there putting in the two sashes that he had fixed. Left…

Everyone has an opinion

If you’re brave enough to live your life as an open book then you have to be prepared for it to be interactive in this postmodern life. When I was married to S and living in a house and working at my job there was little anyone could contribute to the tight knit story except maybe the child issue. But it seems in this single life an entire cadre of onlookers have an opinion about…

A different view

Finally got in my canoe and christened it yesterday and even though the sun was piping hot and it seemed like I was going to fry out there on the bayou – the water cooled the temp down considerably and a nice breeze blew as T and I paddled towards the lake. Ducklings followed mama ducks and adopted mama ducks, herons stood like statues on the banks, mullets jumped out of the water, and a…

Ships in the night

Set out this morning to walk the Bean and it was a pleasant morning with a nice breeze blowing some teeny tiny white caps in the bayou. I caught up with L and the boys and my pleasant morning started heading south – got in a spat over a past spat and realized that I am incapable of going back on anything anymore – I want all new and fresh issues coming in – the…

One week of doors slamming

In retrospect the elephant sanctuary was pivotal in my forward direction – I came back and closed three doors – almost instantly doors started opening on the other side, which was good – finally I was operating in an environment that was not filled with past hurts and passions but instead offered possibilities. Gone – that old ball and chain. It has been the usual flurry of activity – from Bacchanal to festivals to concerts…

Accepting Blame

“The hurricane protection system in New Orleans and southeast Louisiana was a system in name only,” said the draft of the nine-volume report, released yesterday in New Orleans. [NYT 6/2/06] It’s early in the morning and I can’t sleep even though the day was fine. I was able to move through a lot of difficult issues with the LaLa and come to see it for what it is – a big project. In order to…

The first day of hurricane season

Bad vortex right now – thought it was just me but seems to be in the air, in the ether. I met with the new contractor and it is confirmed I was being bamboozled by an idiot – now don’t just think yeah right it’s the new guy pointing the finger at the old gal – because D only confirmed what many many others have told me. It’s like the fucking legacy of N or…
