Confession, I love U2 & Green Day (black eye-liner and all). The fact of the matter is, if my entertainment choices had to be on the same page as me – well, I couldn’t watch TV, movies or listen to music. Let’s face it, entertainers are that, purely entertainers. Many of them get swept up …
Better get the evacuation plan at least…planned!
This is an organization out of New Orleans and I sent them this today I understand your point of view on the war and will respect it. However, I challenge your organization to show the troops that you support them. How can you do this? Well, how about coming aboard Soldiers’ Angels? We can come …
UPDATE FRIDAY NIGHT: * Andre’s show was a blast today.You can listen to it live here. I claim ignorance with everything related to my Corps field trip. I certainly don’t want to be known as the “queen of misinformation.” I’ll be back on for “deja vu all over again” with Andre on September 7th at …
This post is in memory of our cat Goldie April 1994 – August 2007 Goldie was “everyone’s cat” and was as close to human as a cat could be. Nobody ever stepped foot in this house without having met Goldie. She had her own seat at the dinner table, spot on the couch and can …
“Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier.” ~Colin Powell~ Through humor, you can soften some of the worst blows that life delivers. And once you find laughter, no matter how painful your situation might be, you can survive it. ~Bill Cosby~ We should recognize that on the day that we are born, our glass is half …
This story about clowns being banned from making balloon animals caught my attention immediately today. Not only because I have a “clown phobia” (can you say John Wayne Gacey?) but because I have a severe latex allergy too. I have written about my allergy a bunch on my other blog. Not only to draw awareness …
My dear friend Tammy, from Charlotte County Florida, has a 3 year Hurricane Charley anniversary post up that should be visited!!! Natural disasters can happen at any given time. The pictures taken by her husband Ben, are pretty spectacular.
This is a really cool concept. This weekend, the Slidell Cultural Center will host an open-house style night evening to welcome back folks who were raised in Slidell and went on to make a name for themselves. My pal – John Doherty – who made the beautiful fleur de lis pendant I can often be …
I was leafing through the latest issue of Time at the Rouse’s checkout stand. Certainly there would be some breaking information about “Bat Boy†in it. I was very disappointed that he wasn’t featured in this issue, instead I found this great piece about New Orleans and the Corps of Engineers. Honestly, if someone gets …

If I ever want to find out the fate of the young Harry Potter – I will have to skip a “quality” post for Monday. Meanwhile, I have been possessed with writing the last few days. Don’t let all my effort go to waste please!!! Humor me – read!!!
****Last Friday, during my field trip, we stopped at Cafe’ Degas for lunch. The 4 of us ordered a cheese and fruit plate and we each had either a salad or French Onion soup. I was drooling over the ice box pie at the next table….next time. This is a must go to place for …
Well…you best go somewhere else…..go on…..go read sensationalized headlines. Go get spoon-fed articles from so-called “experts” on New Orleans and the flood prevention goals of the city. Nothing ticks me off more than people taking everything they read in print (or on the puter) as the Gospel. Bat Boy is a fictional character folks! Go …
I just read this article & as much as I can understand and feel the frustration of the people directly effected, I am also feeling that no matter what the corps does – they are the enemy. You can only scold a child so much before it become ineffective, you have to praise them once …

I am standing on the 17th Street canal interim closure structure (aka flood-gates) Oh boy am I going to get some fun Google hits from this title. I bet you were all wondering where I went on my “super-secret” field trip? Let me back up a little first. We are all sick and tired of …
