Chris came to me the other night and said it’s time to go back home. The home he speaks of is New Orleans. So, we’re going back. Those of you who know where my heart has been know this is no small victory for me. Chris has apparently given this a lot of thought, but hadn’t told me he was considering it so as to avoid getting my hopes up. He said that it is sad when even a flooded out, destroyed and corrupt city is better than Alabama. I know what he means, but the truth is, there is something about New Orleans that gets under your skin and seeps into your soul. It’s like no place on earth, so flooded out or not, I’m heading back down…in time for hurricane season of course. I’ve got work all lined up and a place to stay. I figure I’ll be back down in about 3 weeks. Chris has said it would be about 3 months for him, but that estimate shrinks by about a month every day.
