K gave a dinner party last night and credited me with getting her back on the circuit. She had a guy fly in from Houston because he was so excited that she was “back” in action again. A good time was had by all and I didn’t get to bed till midnight, then today it was the usual multitasking from hell workday, and then Jake and then pack, and then wait, yes another dinner party.…
I got up at 4:15 this morning after going to bed at 11:30 – I guess I’m only allowed one 9 hour night’s sleep a week. It would be great to get up every morning around 5 (not 4:15) because dawn is such a beautiful time on the bayou. The clouds are tinged with pink and the shadows on the water stand out more.

There is an article today about how Katie Couric’s ratings are not doing so well and that the new leadership is pushing for a conventional heavy hitting newsroom while Katie said that is not what she signed up for. In the same space of words is an article saying nearly 220 people died in Iraq this weekend. Wow, if 220 people died in New Orleans it would register on the richter scale for us in…
HRC was here for the Essence Festival and lambasted Bush for his neglect of New Orleans and vowed to assign a point person to handle our recovery. I wonder if she knows how many point people we have right now? Or that the mayor is full of shit? Or that in reality a lot of people care but what we need more than leadership is MONEY.
