I know that, as a published New Orleans writer, I should say only kind things, if anything, about other published New Orleans writers, but I am also learning that this is sometimes the most difficult thing about being a published New Orleans writer. The problem is that, as a New Orleanian, you want to defend New Orleans.

Oh, I am aware of the good. Remember, I live in the middle of it.

Unfortunately, the bad is very bad, and tends to be bad very loudly.

No, it's not over. Because you never stop breathing the dead. The water never really goes down. All of it is part of what you become, what you are and always will be.

Thanks for getting it. Not many do, and I don't blame them for it. I needed that, and appreciate it.

When Ned did his reading at the festival I felt his anger, it was real. I'm sorry he has to feel that, but glad he can express it so eloquently and respectfully. You are good people, and I consider you both honorary New Orleanians. If anyone ever gives you guff about that send em over to see your crazy-ass friend in the Marigny.

Love back atcha.
