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…

Positive Attitude Ladies!!!!

That was one of my stand out lines in Desperate Editors – a skit we editors put on at the reporters conference two years running. Think we need a new sitcom, but since I have so many Bree like qualities – red hair, positive attitude – it is easy to fall into character when need be. Last night G picked me up and we went to Delachaise to meet E – who by the way…

Cerebration

Cerebration is the product of thinking and I did a lot of that while at the elephant sanctuary this weekend. The product of which is that I am shedding my skin and at the same time trying to keep the old me on life support. It’s sad and difficult to let go of the old me – I’ve grown very attached over all the years. But I’m up to the challenge because I have faith…

Venus

Yesterday at Venus, L and I were talking about her weekend – her husband’s 5 year old nephew drowned in a lake they frequent. She said the mother was in the car with their 8 day old baby nursing her when the father came running that he couldn’t find him. The horror. Then I was seeing M and she and I were talking about past relationships. She was married to a man who kidnapped her…
