Blog: How Does It Work? >>>
This is a birthday tribute to my dear Mother. Her birthday would have been November 19th, and since I cannot celebrate it with her this year, I wanted to give her a tribute instead. This is a portion of her obituary, somewhat edited, that can say it best for my Mom. Happy Birthday,»
Re Katrina, I can make an "opportunity" of it. It is rare one has a chance to start almost completely over. All work, home, relationship, and obligations are washed away or changed. I have nearly a clean slate to begin with, except the problems still left from the storm»
It's been Mardi Gras in New Orleans. You can't believe how messed up it still is, down there. There were 2038 MD's before. Now there are 510. There were 128 schools. Now there are 56. This year alone 40 police officers quit. Most of the city is just as it was. Overturned cars. Skele»
