The power of a name – photo provided by author When I was a kid and learning how to write, I would write my H’s, over and over again. Which soon became my full name, again, writing it over and over and over. I loved how it looked on paper, bunched together and spread outContinueContinue reading “NOLA Photo Series #8”

The residents welcome us to town – photo provided by author One of many unique decor choices in NOLA. Keep in mind, this was taken in April.

Killing Time – NOLA
Ah punctuality, you wily nymph, you. So close, yet so very far away. Wait, let me back up. Not quite ready for this part of the story yet, we need a little preamblizing. (Not a word, you say? I bet it is in Joss Whedon’s Firefly universe. Ergo, it should be in ours. I willContinueContinue reading “Killing Time – NOLA”

End result: you get twice the story. (I’ve successfully wrangled a “second voice”ContinueContinue reading “Rashomon Series: The Notebook – NOLA”

NOLA Photo Series #2
Wife – photo provided by author Growing up, I greatly enjoyed wandering through graveyards and reading all of the tombstones, in particular the crumbling, fading ones (not a vampire, but I could play one on TV).
