This is a first entry in a long time, just in case folks are wondering. All is well with the folks in the Motherland. My dad evacuated early, and all the popolo seem to have found safe haven well ahead of G’s somewhat less-than-climactic landfall. Good thing, methinks. This storm seems to have brought [...] Just in case you’re checking the site for confirmation, consider it confoimed: I’m moving to Louisville, Kentucky next week. For a day job. (Unlikely? Maybe. But I hope not. I got a buncha movers heading to my place in New Orleans come Monday.) The clock is ticking and the boxes (despite much cajoling) ain’t [...] Hey Kids, In New Orleans, we got summertime temps in the low 90s, a drought that won’t let up and at least one suspicious eye trained on the Gulf at all times. It’s not a choice, really, it’s what we do this time of year. Meanwhile, in the Cascade high country of Oregon’s Hood [...] Hey Kids, Just a quick note to let you know that I’ve got a couple of pieces in NY TImes this week. The first one ran in the Small Business section on Monday, the other (a travel story) hit the web today. Food Biz The piece features three new enterprises (a wine shop, kitchen [...] In the Emerald City for this year’s IACP conference, working on a few stories before heading into the bely of the proverbial convention beast. Pike’s Place market tonight, meeting up with friends, et. al. But for now, i’m in a local coffee shop, clicking way and scanning the walls for appropriate interstitial distractions. Coffeeshop [...] It’s been awhile since I’ve gone anything but update the site with the occasional “news from N.O.” post, but today’s different. Thanks to a tip from the all-singing, all-dancing Jay Allen, i’ve got a brand spanking new flickr flash badge in the right hand column. Click on it and see selections from the recent [...] Driving around after a burger and praline lunch in the Quarter, I chanced upon a fantastic local band name courtesy of WWOZ’s Live Wire. Somewhere in town tonight, Captain Bringdown and the Buzz Killers will take the stage. In a perfect world, they’d be a frenetic, uptempo polkabilly band. Hey Kids, Just a quick note to let you know a couple of things: Home Again, Home Again In some parts of the city, things are getting back to qualified normal. Ariana and I moved back into our apartment right before the New Year and are glad to be home to largely unchanged (but [...] Hey Kids, So it seems that the only REAL time for a full bore update is when there’s a new proto-killer storm churning about in the Gulf. Sometime tomorrow, we’ll be watching to see where the strike zone turns and if, in fact, we’ll be back “in the cone” for a third time this [...] Hey Kids, Another update from the road. This time from picturesque West Feliciana Parish — St. Francisville to be exact — and hopefully out of reach of the latest gale-force gorilla bearing down on the Motherland. I’ve always liked the name Rita — what with its links to sexy metermaids, refreshing tequila drinks, the [...] |
