Today I was sneezing so bad I couldn’t think straight. I drank lots of coffee and took an antihistamine. Nothing helped. I went home for lunch and almost didn’t go back to work. Then, just after I sent an e-mail to my boss telling him to put me down for half a sick-day, I stopped [...]
The rain has not been constant. But almost. Turns out it’s Tropical Storm Matthew.
I’d said it rains a lot here in New Orleans. This is true in terms of inches (approx. 60″ per year) but we tend to have a fair amount of sunny days. We get torrential downpours, but we also get lots of [...]
Friday night I couldn’t get to sleep. Same again Saturday. I seemed to be experiencing some vague and nameless dread, some free-floating anxiety.
(I’ve never suffered from true insomnia, but I used to have lots of trouble getting to sleep at night, years ago. Such nights are rare now.)

I did this last year and [...]
Living, working, loving, playing in the great, tragic city of New Orleans. My hood: Mid-City. Hell yes, we flooded. Yes, we rebuilt. We even reproduced. This is my personal blog which features all the joys and sorrows and random musings that comprise the story of my life.
I use the sobriquet "Editor B" when writing here to maintain a minimal level of privacy and freedom.
