The heart of the city is still beating

There's not much in the news about New Orleans these days but you know it hasn't been fixed. I'm glad Treme is back for a 2nd season though. The heart of the city is the music.

Went to the Pro Bowl '11 and got a t-shirt

Photos?

The Labor Day Ditty

Summer slipped out during the night, and we woke to a Pacific Northwest dreary gray drizzle. It's quiet and peaceful this morning though. Maybe I'll warm up this cup and putter for a bit longer, before heading out to face the yard. Back to the grind tomorrow. Then the NFL kicks-off for real Thursday night.

Oh, and congrats to the Seattle Storm for that great come from behind win yesterday in Phoenix. Good luck in the Finals!

Tooter Turtle and the sage Mister Wizard

Remember when Tooter Turtle would cry "Help! Mister Wizard!" and the lizard would perform an incantation, like "Drizzle Drazzle Dreezle Drome, time for this one to come home!". Tooter would come home and Mr Wizard would say to him, "Be what you is, not what  you is not. Folks that is what they is, is the happiest lot." I think that's good advice. One caveat: if "what you is" is a big ass-hole, try to keep that to your self as much as possible, OK?

My Aunt Bernie, somewhat of a philosopher in her own right, offers this tidbit about the journey we're on: Life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer you get to the end the faster it goes. Yeah, that makes sense.

Peace.
