thrilled though i was that the weather in NO was so amazing upon my arrival (especially since i spent so much time in my car waiting for the key to arrive), i am not thrilled that it changed over night. last night the cold front that has been pounding oklahoma and texas has shifted itself […]
You’d think I’d be used to it…by now…so many behind me, but somehow sleeping in an unfamiliar place is always difficult for me. New “homes” homes more than hotels or hostels. I don’t know if my mind registers that the others are temporary filling stations for sleep and that is why I have less issue […]
It can be difficult even for eyes adjusted to the sometimes squalor of pre-katrina New Orleans. Difficult to discern the difference between what wind, water, and the stranded wrought and what has been brought on by years of sinking swamplands, humidity and poverty. My new neighborhood offers up the challenge of guessing which tragedy has […]
i moaned and complained about not having my girlfriends while i was in zed. i had my man, school, a job and such…overwhelmingly life was good. i had friends that were girls…good friends…but i missed my crew of women that have known me anywhere from 7 to 15 years. my recent time in new york […]

i got in last night. my flight left more than an hour late because of a light bulb…yeah you read that right. as a result i missed my connecting flight, got yelled at by an incredibly rude LAX employee and left my family waiting for several hours in dallas. all said and done though i’m […]
my heart is breaking…profoundly… i’ll be home soon…be patient with me as i cope with saying goodbye.
i admit i paid for it, though out of my head it is definitely a silly concept. i took a mudbath today. not just any gathered in my shoe or under your tires mud, straight from the mudholes…or so they say. either way, strange though it is, it felt nice. the thermal mineral rich waters […]
it is the smell of the devil and giardia, eggs left forgotten in the sun and of a struck match…and rotura smells of it as well. the scent of sulfer is in the air, an inconsistent companion depending on the wind’s direction. but then, the acrid smell is part of the reason so many people […]
