That old black magic

This morning a fine white fog pervaded City Park and cast an eerie glow over it. It is perfect for the upcoming Halloween holiday or maybe its a pall cast more from the Saints’ loss yesterday. Someone said there was some bad voodoo on the team and that the devil was in our backyard laughing at us. I ran into a fellow morning walker and he speculated it was all about gambling and I said you think Brees threw those interceptions on purpose? And he said he didn’t know but something wasn’t right.

When things are working for you, you got your mojo rising, when things are against you, it’s gris gris. Either way, with Halloween around the corner and a fine mist in the air, the spirits are coming and we better be prepared to know the difference between good voodoo and bad.

Overheard: A young woman’s recent fleur de lys and Saints tattoo on her shoulder and an older gentlemen who said, “You’re going to be sorry when they lose.”
