Where do you want to be in five years? Note to self: try to answer that question while figuring out why you seem not to be able to answer what you want right now, or even when you think you know what you might want in the here and now, you appear incapable of asking for it. What about you has changed? Really? Why not rely on the old habit of pleasing, it eases the…
I was driving out to Metairie today on my way to see Abby with a pair of tiny shoes with mermaids on them in a bag next to me and my mind was in full gear after a good night’s rest – then memory flashes began going off in the rat-a-tat-tat fashion of a semi automatic and I was overwhelmed by sadness, grief, and joy competing for my attention – all in a matter of…

No baggage – holding Abby #2 today and she is quite a pretty girl I might add and you just want to get to know her because then I went by my mom’s and agh – the same old drama. She’s yet to visit Abby – won’t budge – dunno. Then she’s having some scary medical problems that she is going to get tested on – then there is my sister who is scary to…
I knocked on T’s door and asked her to walk to the bayou with me – I had a slice of bread and plenty of sins.* She thinks of me as a novelty act, I’m sure, but Rosh Hashana is the Jewish New Year and also a time for forgiveness – both forgiving those who have wronged you as well as asking forgiveness to those you have wronged. Needless to say, I should have taken…
A good night sleep last night was just what the doctor ordered. Up this morning for a nice long walk around the bayou with the Bean. Then out for a two hour bike ride that was blissful. Down Marconi to the Lakefront and then along the lakefront past UNO and circle back around. Went by N’s to put up her paper as she and the Snake are at the camp this weekend. I rode up…
S gave up after three weeks of working for the man and realized yet again that he is the man so we sent him a Bean-O-Gram and wished him good luck and we’re thrilled that he has left the dark side and returned to the light.
And wrote a song about it – you must view this podcast and listen to the song – it’s terrific – E debuted it at the bridge gathering on August 29th – http://www.ernietheattorney.net/ – then go to the September 20th entry called Katrina Anniversary Podcast. Well done!
Went to the Brocato’s opening with about 100+ other people, H&T and I rode our bikes over and stood in line for an hour listening to Benny Grunch playing It Ain’t There No More and Got Mold? – no rum raisin so I had to get praline and coconut, but both were delicious and made the longing for rum raisin that much sweeter – Mr Brocato said that when they came back the place was…
I walked the Bean this morning and went by the LaLa – the terrace is flashed and the torch down is down – so there has been progress this week when it felt like not. I was standing in the bathroom when my neighbors came out of their side door and I stood there and watched them and thought frosted glass or etched glass or something obscure, opaque, contact paper, something something, whatyougonnado? Waved to…
