Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow in New Orleans
Driving down Bienville Street past St. Margaret’s Long-Term Care Facility – a frail and elderly woman in a plastic chair sat out front smoking a cigarette. #remindsmeofmom
Driving down Galvez Street right at the gloaming and little kids out in the streets on bikes, jumping rope, playing ball and folks coming home from work. #backintheday
Driving down Spain Street looking for St. Roch Community Church, I lower window and ask a guy on his porch, and feel bad when he gets up and comes all the way down to the street – then I realize why – he has a trach and speaks through a box and it is only a little above a whisper. #countyourblessings
St. Roch Community Church where people from all different backgrounds gathered to join in the conversation on Race Reconciliation. #standingroomonly
Driving Tin home from the airport late last night and he overheard me telling Tatjana that Stella has diarrhea and I had to move Heidi’s head away from her butt. #everhearafiveyearoldlaughwithhiswholebody?
Driving Tin to school this morning and Stephanie Jordan was singing Believe in Yourself. She’ll be at Jazz Fest on my birthday in the Jazz Tent. #playingmysong
