I was trying to take Tatjana out for our anniversary to get oysters so that ruled out Meaux Bar, our favorite haunt. But the three names in oysters are Casimento, Pascal Manales and Cooter Browns. And now Luke’s. But I didn’t like the ambience at Luke’s – even though I worship at the altar of John Besh. I called Manales but they closed at 9, so I opted for Luke’s. I also called Lilette and…
What a gorgeous day here in New Orleans! It makes you want to shout it out from the rafters. The temperature is upper 70s, the sun is shining like big red ball, and not a cloud in the blue blue sky. Saw the birthmother again today and we had a very good heart to heart, soul to soul talk. We’re all caught up in a very complicated dynamic where emotions sometimes prevail over cool heads.…

These hours have always worked well for me. Loca and I went through the park this morning, swiftly because it is…
Yesterday, our baby’s mother expressed confusion over her attachment to the baby growing inside her and told us about the pressures of family and friends to keep our daughter. I held my breath for about three hours in the morning and then let it go very slowly, very very slowly, as I realized the only real thing I can do right now is keep on having faith – to cling to this overwhelmingly strong feeling…
I’ve been boxed into a way of thinking recently – most likely the tenor of the market, remember I am watching the market every day for my work and so all I hear is bad news. Then there is the addition of Wolfie, who we fell in love with and want to take care of, but it’s like Wolfie tipped our home harmony scale (between Arlene’s senior moments of incontinence, Loca’s still puppy moments of…
