Deep thoughts?

I got a lot of meaning and meditation out of this found installation in a poor residential neighborhood in New Orleans... until I realised it probably just refers to semi engines.

An assault on the senses

New Orleans is the kind of place where there is something amazing and interesting to see in pretty much every corner, particularly when you peek in someone's backyard.

Mama said there'd be days like this

Days like this, when something unspeakable happens in the world, can be the hardest to find something happy. They are also the most important days to find that one happy thing.

This photo is from a trip to Paris a couple of years ago. It was taken inside Notre Dame. Kia kaha, Paris.

It takes a village

Even in the less than safe areas of New Orleans, there is a community effort to encourage poop scooping.

A little normality

We've been on the road for several days now and it's easy to let the weariness of travel bring your mood down. This morning, I decided to take a proactive step and go for my usual long mornjng walk. It was unfamiliar territory and humidity as thick as cream gravy, but it did the trick! Sweat is organic Zooloft, I always say.

Down by the sea

Today, we took a walk on Kema's famous boardwalk and it was like walking back in time.

In service of the bucket list

I was raised in Texas and still visit every two years or so, and yet it took me 40 years to see San Antonio's Riverwalk. It was worth it.
