This cool coffee art is painted by local artist Richard Lewis. He calls his art Caribbean Primitive/Pop. This picture is titled “Cafe’ au Lait and Beignets.” This picture is enough to brighten up anyone’s day. Honey – another hint of a picture I would really like!!! The coolest thing about having a blog, is meeting …

A reader and friend of mine (Mena) recently sent me some e-mails that were post-worthy. She gave me her permission to post it. Gosh, I need to stop thinking of life in “posts.” Positive thoughts are contagious! BTW(by the way) – It is Sept 30th, I am sitting in my backyard writing this, in my …
Update Saturday – pictures & still wondering if the rumor about Mayor Nagin holds any water. I did my share this evening and contributed to the Abita Beer fundraising for the front entrance of our subdivision (thanks Troy- he works there). My fantabulous Lakewood Heights(awesome website) neighborhood in Mandeville of about 120 homes, had at …
Fercryingoutloud, how do you properly pronounce “New Orleans?” I researched the heck out of this mystery (one place- hey this is no stinkin term paper). It doesn’t seem that there is a right, but there certainly are wrongs. Is it Jee-na or Jen-a? Seriously, pronouncing New Orleans is about as confusing as Bostonian outsiders trying …
* is it Thursday already? barnacles – where did the week go? * tomorrow is my neighborhood block party-yeeha (no designated driver necessary). Many thanks to Abita Beer for donating beer. The money from each beer goes to help fund our new front entrance. I promise (Scout’s Honor) to do my share and drink plenty! …
Funny, I was going to write about Craigslist (Hi Craig – yes, he is a real person-we’ve e-mailed) and up pops the news and….. another Craigslist prostitution arrest – this one, 2 sisters in Slidell, Louisiana. I hate to laugh, but I can’t stop – I am easily amused by stupid people! Yes, these sisters …
Me, the Princess of Positive, feels just awful that the Saints lost last night. They were a speckle of inspiration for a state that has been kicked when it was down, then kicked again and again…and then a little more. Buck up little campers, it isn’t that bad and it ain’t over until….well it ain’t …
I love to feature local artwork on my blog. So I surfed (bad habit-so easy to get sucked in for long hours of time) to find a picture that screamed, “Monday morning post.” I love this picture and the title is also apropos for me as it is “4-cup morning” by NOLA artist Kerrie Jones. …
Now that I have your attention (evil laugh inserted here), let’s talk about shameless self-promotion. A blogger (which is what I am) calls it link-blegging, a writer (Chris Rose) calls it being smart. To a blogger, you could have the best darn blog in the universe, but unless you link to bigger bloggers, you are …

It is 7:30 AM on a Saturday and why am I awake? Oh well. Got the coffee, got my computer and am watching “Chulo the Stupor dog” chase Lovebugs. He may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but he wakes up every day wagging his tail, ready to conquer the back yard and …
(click here to view) Keith KnightSep 20, 2007 EditorialCartoonists.com They came, they went, they made their mark, they sparked discussion, they created a new Jena. She came, she went, she destroyed, she created a rebirth to a city in need of one. New Orleans and Jena will never be the same again – but they …
What good can come out of the Jena circus? Will the crowds and demonstrators get unruly? Will there be controversy and violence due to this case? Or can we turn this case around as a positive lesson for the young people today? First off, let me say that I am as disgusted and ashamed that …
These days it seems everyone wants to be a blogger. Or is it that bloggers want to be something they are not? Or is it that people are pressured into having a blog? As a veteran blogger – nothing irks me more than a “dead blog.” I’m not talking about a blog that has been …
Update: Watched it on the TV last night and stand by my preliminary review. I fess, I watched the show on my puter from the NOLA.com local “watch this here” link. I also wrote about the show before my premier viewing. Let’s just say, it was pretty good. The characters are likable and some of …
Seriously, is the “over the top” birthday party culture destroying our kids…I can’t wait until I grow up dreams? My Super bratty Sweet whatever is nauseating, but a guilty pleasure. I have been to so many parties where I have to ask myself – dang – how will the parents top this next year? Buy …
