I've left New Orleans and won't be back in town till December, but I've got enough afterthoughts to fill this blog for quite sometime.

I make no pretensions to understand the pain and loss of those being displaced and dispossessed in the aftermath of the great flood, but sitting here in Cali I do feel that in some way I know what it means to miss New Orleans. It's hard to leave that town. It's hard to say goodbye to all the people I've met.

For those who've been reading, keep posted. For those of you in NOLA, keep fighting! I’ll see you come Christmas.
