Nodding in NOLA
I'm a wayward soul at a fork in the road. I'm in New Orleans for now, but next year maybe Nepal, the Netherlands, New York? Who knows?

One of those days…
Spent the morning volunteering at the Katrina 3rd anniversary events. A memorial and burial of ten of the unclaimed bodies from Katrina (still!), sandwiched between 3-hour stints manning the City’s woefully understaffed 311 line, does not allow for optimism. Every day I find reasons to think “this would never happen in New York City” and, until now, my delight in those differences always outweighed my dread. Gustav, if you grow to a Category 3 hurricane the post-Katrina brew of courage, charm and corruption that is this city will not survive you.
