Uh oh. I don’t like the looks of this.
Pronounce the dot.
Uh oh. I don’t like the looks of this.
Google Maps for my phone. Works like a dream. Hooray.
The more I think about it, this stinks to high heaven. The location? The timing? The absence of any publicity? It’s as if they’re going…
So you are tired of your life, young man! All the more reason have you to live. Anyone can die. A murderer has moral force…
On May 21st of last year, with a couple friends, I hiked about three miles through New Orleans following the (mostly) abandoned Norfolk-Southern rail line.…

As they continue demolishing it, Physicians Hospital is now wide open. I walked in and took some pictures. Man, it’s spooky in there. Added twenty-odd…
Slowly, all too slowly, Mid-City restaurants are re-opening. We went to Katie’s for a Cinco de Mayo party last Friday… It was a one-time affair,…
After about two months of inactivity, the demolition of the old Physicians Hospital on Canal Street has resumed. Not the historic wood frame houses —…

We’re firing up the air conditioners tonight, for the first time since Katrina shut ’em down. It’s only 86 degrees in our living room, but…
Note: I was working on this miniature essay just before Katrina. I’ve only just finished now.
I fully realize that most people don’t think much about whether or not to have kids. They either know what they want and act on that instinct, or they don’t think about it at all and just do what comes naturally.
But I’ve never been like most people. In fact, one of my favorite pastimes over the years has been philosophical speculation on the implications of having children — or not, as the case may be.

At least one person understood the true purpose of my Jazz Fest heresy: whoring for free tickets. Thanks, Howie! Xy and I had a good…

What irritates me is that I learned about this three months ago.
