It was sad, but not surprising, to read the headlines this morning about the sudden retirement of New Orleans Inspector General Bob Cerasoli. I spoke with Bob on Tuesday after his interview with Eric Asher on WIST. He sounded tired, defeated and I felt the need to reach out to him. I told him that …
My dear friend Toby always warns me to be careful what I wish for. We spoke about my hopes for Operation Overseas Mardi Gras to catch on like wildfire this year. Not only would the success of this project be a huge morale booster to the recipients of the pacakges, but that it would motivate …

Last night, some New Orleans virtual friends, met each other in real life (the stars must have been aligned properly). I’ve met many of my on-line friends over the years and it never disappoints me, but confirms that virtual and real life can collide successfully! Lucky’s in New Orleans was the destination for this Tweetup …
