One hour – listen here!
True story – I couldn’t make up this scenario up in a million years because I just don’t think this way. I was out chatting with my 2 neighbors on a most magnificent afternoon. The neighbor who is the focus of this post, has New Orleans roots and moved to the Northshore many years ago. …
“There are plenty of ways to get ahead. The first is so basic I’m almost embarrassed to say it: spend less than you earn.” ~Paul Clitheroe~ “Money is something you have to make in case you don’t die.” ~Max Asnas~ Numbers scare the life out of me! I fear them almost as much as clowns …

Listen up everyone – Mother’s Day is May 11th & you should be in a panic if you haven’t given it any thought yet (which I assume you haven’t). I usually get some handmade gifts from the kids (that they made in school), a card, coffee, breakfast, my laptop & newspaper in bed. Then it …
You’ve thought about it, you feel bad for all kids that are in the system – well…whatareyougonnadoaboutit? We proudly fostered and adopted Princess Whinalot and it is the best thing we ever did. So many children in the US and especially in Louisiana need you to step up to the plate! Gay, straight, married, single, …
Let me start by saying – WAY TO GO HORNETS!!! Stop & smell the good news because the bad news is taking over our attitudes – ya know what I mean? Let’s face it, for the most part -the news just sucks & is depressing! But, if you are like me – you are somewhat …
“If you tell the truth you don’t have to remember anything.” ~Mark Twain~ * Took my daughter to Dot’s Diner for breakfast after her appointment at Ochsner (corrected spelling) in New Orleans. What a little gem of a diner with large helpings and also very inexpensive. Our waitress Danica was adorable and my daughter was …
It is only 1 hour – enjoy!
My 1st post from the day is here and the picture of me & the Jazzfest Queen Irma Thomas is here (bad picture of me). My Flickr photos are here. On to this post… There is something about explaining the feeling of Jazzfest that I want to convey to you as a write – but …
Update: My Flickr Photos from Sunday Well worth trudging through the 6″ puddles and getting soaked to the bone today- was this photo opp! This photo took place 5 seconds before the heavens opened up and poured down on us! I had just put my jacket on 2 seconds before this photo (barnacles). OMG – …
Well – I survived. I guess I even more than survived – I had a pretty good time. I am my own worst critic!!! I have already been told that my microphone was not shut off during a break and everyone could hear me yapping away GRRRRRR. I also know I talked over my intro …
Heck ya!!! I haven’t made it to Jazzfest yet (hopefully Sunday)- but Friday night at the Mandeville Trailhead was great for a family when someone had to work after 5! Tonight we saw Johnny Sketch & the Dirty Notes – they were great! I enjoyed seeing all the little kids dancing, sitting on stage and …
Besides the fact that you might get shot (just kidding tourists), trust me – you somehow, directly or indirectly, know the person you just flipped off! I mean there is small town and then there is big small town and then there is New Orleans. I’ve written a couple of times in the past about …
Sorry if any of you have been having difficulty logging on lately. Seems KMG readership is up (not complaining one bit), which sometimes means I need to advance my technology. My wonderful staff friends are helping me out a bit. If you want it delivered into your inbox, you can always sign up for that …
*** The House of Blues: I chaperoned a bunch of 6th graders to the House of Blues for a field trip. I was more excited than most of them because this was my first time there &… WOW! $12 for my kid (including bus cost) and $5 for me – this was soooo worth every …
