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 …
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 …
“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 …
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 …

****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 …
New Orleans has been branded and it can’t get up! I couldn’t let this go….this fabulous morale booster and genius words of wisdom from the mouth Mayor Nagin . He talked about any image for NOLA being a good thing! So let me get this straight – any news for NOLA is good news? Murder …
Well…. at least I’m fessing up to it. Nah – can’t lie – no good at it (would make a lousy politician). Anyhoo, I know you have all been on the edge of your seats waiting for the results of the survey I posted about on Wednesday. I know I told you that I would …
Of course you do is the appropriate answer. And since your passport isn’t ready and Priceline doesn’t have great deals on plane tickets to Afghanistan, I have a better way for you to “virtually” be a part of this!!! Let me explain – Sunday morning, I get up (no hangover – yay), insert the coffee …

Just like Ruby-Sue from the Christmas Vacation movie (cross-eyed until kicked in the head by a mule), I was not able to “think outside the box” as much before my head injury in 1993. And to my family’s dismay, I didn’t recover and become a good cook or play the piano. Local situational despair has …
I may have said some of this before – but it bares (not naked bare – get your mind out of the gutter) repeating. The Northshore of Lake Pontchatrain is NOT – I repeat NOT the red-headed stepchild of New Orleans. We are part of the “Greater New Orleans Area.” All of us support and …
