Please don’t send me flowers: Unless it is in a cocktail I love flowers. I love their beauty and imminent nostalgia that is attached to them. Flowers evoke memories of yore. They evoke memories of the sun and the grass and a certain amount of whimsy. I […]
Today we were asked to think about what would happen if we woke up and it was ten days later. I can tell you I would be mighty bummed out to have missed my son’s formative years and have missed seeing New Orleans become the grand city it […]
