I stepped off the plane and immediately noticed that the airport smelled faintly like a swimming pool. I am one of those weird people who actually likes the smell of bleach so this wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. But there was no music playing, either. Hey, Toto, we aren’t in New Orleans anymore. Until we…
Ozzy!
There were lots of good bands at Voodoo Fest but I must admit I was most excited about seeing this guy: He may be getting up in years and no one could accuse him of being overly conscientious about his health during his long career. His memoir, I Am Ozzy, reads like a textbook case…
Crossing items off my list…
Note: We returned from our 11 day trip to New Orleans late last night. I have lots of stories to tell and pictures to share over the next several days. Here is the first: Remember that “101 in 1001” list I made some time ago? Well, one of the items on my list was to…
New Orleans
The Tourist By William Faulkner –New Orleans A courtesan, not old and yet no longer young, who shuns the sunlight that the illusion of her former glory be preserved.

Memory Lane Monday – New Orleans
In April of 2006, David and I made our first trip back to New Orleans post-Katrina. I well remember the mix of emotions as our plane touched down at the Louis Armstrong airport. I was so happy to be returning to the city of my soul, especially since I had wondered if that would ever…
They say it’s my birthday!
I’m so excited! David is whisking me away for the weekend at our favorite Oklahoma City hotel, the Skirvin. A whole weekend relaxing in luxury – sigh… I had my big party last week and my kids took me to Norman yesterday for lunch and a little shopping. Wanna see David’s gift to me? From…
The Big Easy
Here are just a few more pictures from our trip to share with y’all. Some were taken with my iPhone in low light situations so the quality isn’t great but the subject matter is. Oh, how I love this city… The St. Louis Cathedral has to be one of the most picturesque places of worship…
