Why do you live there?
I’ve often had people ask me how I could live in New Orleans, a backwater, a crime ridden, debauchery laden, hurricane target? And I say, easy.
Right now I could make a list for you about the people, events, culture, music, food, landscape, but let’s just focus here on what’s important.
As I write this, there are pelicans skirting the bayou and birds playing on a wire and it is 65 degrees. Yes, that’s write 65 and tomorrow it will be 70. You know what it is in NY? 30 something and tonight 20 something and in Boston, forgetaboutit, it is going to be in the low 20s.
When my friend was here soaking up the rays and at the hula hoop workshop with me, she said it was snowing where she lived. I said, and why do you live there again?
