So today was yesterday redux – LaLa and more – exponentially – and yet I neglected to mention on Sunday I took Jacob to see Cars and he was a little love machine and Cars sucked! Come on Pixar – what is that? Unfit for kids or adults. Tsk tsk. But meanwhile Jacob who is two and a half couldn’t say my name so he insisted on calling me Ocho – and hey, I kind…
NYT this morning writes: “Now, as the [NOPD] department tries to fight its way back, sharp budget cuts — and a recent spike in drug-related killings in the city — are adding to fears that years of overhauls and modernization may be undone, and that New Orleans could return to its former notoriety as one of the nation’s murder capitals. A colleague from Massachusetts writes: Every time I open Yahoo I see a new “weather…
Who are these nutballs who undertake home remodels on their own volition – are they masochists? – the to do lists come like tsunamis – although the day started kind of nice – the BSF ran by twice with his usual charming dimples, T almost ran me and Arlene over on his bike, I thought I saw L, man of mystery, walking his dogs and remembered I hadn’t called him back, and then when he…
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…
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…
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…
When I saw the NOMA exhibit Katrina Exposed I bought a couple of books from the show – the cover I’ve come to find out is a picture of W’s raft that was here at the Can and when N&B paddled over to get supplies they were handing out stuff to people at the can and J asked if he could have the raft. He is sitting back in the raft with his boots and…
Subject:Â HELLO! AWESOME!! FANTABULOUS!! FANTABULOUS!! LADY!! Dear Ms. Good_Attitude, Hello. Fantabulous Monday Evening to you. I Really Enjoyed Reading your AWESOME Profile.

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…
Late yesterday, I took the Bean for a walk – it was warm and sunny and we were bounding along the bayou and ran into L with the dogs. We walked a ways – I was trying to update him on some cross conversations I had been having with mutual friends and the conversation turned inward to some issues that we have had recently. I viewed it as some sort of stalemate – like when…
