Hotter than hell

We are on day three of a horrific heat wave that has the heat index here in the hundreds and the temps bordering a hundred. It is not fit for man or beast, not to mention women and dogs. It’s hard to get motivated to do anything, but this morning I took the dogs for their walk around the bayou, then dropped off dog #1 and took dog #2 for a more thorough walk and…

Hey mesmerizer, come back here and do it again

What happens if you look into someone’s eyes and feel as if you don’t want to even blink for fear you’ll miss a moment? They say babies hold their gaze so long – longer than adults – and that is what makes looking at them so mesmerizing. I like mesmerizing.

Gomez called to say he can’t believe how hot it is outside. J called to say she is sweating the pig at the Home Depot right now. People say this is when crime…

Stress is the Devil

I have been so stressed out with work lately and I realized by listening to friends over the last few days that people stress out about a lot of things. I was listening to a friend stressed about a remodel and I remember oh so well the nights of house terrors that woke me in the middle of the night. Then there is my friend who is stressed by moving and I remember oh so…

Is it hard to live here in New Orleans?

There is a row of shotgun doubles down the street that the city is going to tear down. Such a crime. How can this city be so neglectful about some things and then expend energy to knock down beautiful historic homes? Someone the other day was saying that the root of the city’s problems is a drug problem – and that much of the crime stems from it – how does one eradicate drugs in…
