It's OK that some things don't change
I went back to last New Year’s Eve and found the following post. It’s as true today as it was a year ago. I’ve just changed the dates to protect the innocent … I mean time-space continuum.
Saying goodbye to 2011 is happy for some and sad for others. But I’m so glad that I got to spend time in person and online with so many of you. You have become wonderful friends and I...

OK, maybe I need to work on that calmer part a...
I may have just almost yelled into my phone “well then go back to the grocery and I’m sure they will let you go through the trash looking for your receipt.” Raising mom is a full-time job. And her Virgo-schoolteacher-everything-by-the-book ways sometimes get head butted by my Aries-ram head. :)

In Katrina'a Wake, New Orleans Enjoys Startup Boom →
This is one of the best Christmas presents ever, seeing my hometown coming back to life better than ever. I have told people since Katrina that it is a great place to go for people who are willing to work hard and want to create something. I’ve watched the shifts in demographics and energy and spirit of the city over the past six years. I’ve seen the high school near my house go from...
What's your food wearing?
Growing up in NOLA we order our sandwiches, especially po-boys “dressed.” For those uninitiated that means with lettuce, tomato, pickles, mayo and or hot sauce or mustard or whatever the appropriate condiment combo would be for the particular type of sandwich. It’s similar to with “the works” or “all the way” or whatever.
And then of course, there are...

Apparently I'm too sexy
for Urban Dictionary. It says I’m indescribable or haven’t been defined or something. Maybe I should define myself.

makearoo:
can we do a brief phone call this week?
I’m doing some intensive market research and prep for the first Camp Makearoo and I’d love to talk to people to gather insight into how you approach your work, what you’re struggling with, and what you’d like more of in 2012.
Doesn’t matter what you make or where you are with it: Maybe you have a novel hidden on your hard drive or...

It's not about the number of yards, it's about how...
Haters are going to hate. Some will point out that comparing today’s sports stats with yesteryears is like comparing apples to oranges. Some will say that it was running up a score. Whatever. People can say whatever they want.
I say that whether it was this week (and yes I was glad it happened on a Monday night with a national audience, I’m proud of the Saints and Drew Brees) or...

They just don't make them like that anymore
themarke replied to your photo: Christmas Eve fire number one. Coming home from…
I had a house here in FL with four… The closest I’ve come to a fireplace up north was a wood-burning stove in IN made in our own family-owned factory.
That’s so cool! I can see where the vent was for a wood-burning stove in the kitchen in NOLA but it has been long since gone. The house was built in about...
