To anyone out there who may occasionally check in on my blog:
I've obviously been away from writing here for awhile. That will probably continue, as I'm in the middle of some transition. My time in New Orleans is winding down at the end of April. I will still be involved with my program here -- in fact, it should be bigger and better than ever. But I will no longer be living here. I should be situated in Boston by mid-May. By that time I will have decided if I'm going to keep this particular blog. It's been a great tool for me to share some stories, to raise awareness about things going on in the New Orleans area. I just have to see if the next phase of my life includes a blog with a similar purpose or mission. Thanks to anyone who has taken time to check it out from time to time.

Pic of the Day
My brother Chris, my Uncle Vince (as Irish as Irish gets Uncle Vince) and myself moving what had to be the single heaviest piece of furniture I have lifted since I started this venture. I'm not even sure this photo does that thing justice. I mean, it weighed a ton. And this was the easy part. The next day, Chris and I were by ourselves unloading the furniture we collected over two days to put into storage, and it was just the two of us getting this thing down and off the truck. Nightmare. We both agreed afterwards we were lucky to not have any broken bones or be in traction. Whatever family gets this when I get back to St. Bernard Parish next month is going to hear a story, as well as a few scratches to see. Sorry, Aunt Jane.
