Katrina, one year later

Aug 29, 2006 10:21

I don't know that I'll ever be happy on this day. Note the music I chose to play while I write this.

There is a wonderful article on the NOLA website that chronicles six survivors' ordeals. There's even an accompanying multimedia presentation with pictures. Please read and remember.

On a happier note:

Had lunch with them again today. They're having fun. They saw the Wiggles this morning.

We ate lunch at the ABC Commissary, and I got to show them the display cases with Lost memoribilia - Charlie's shirt and shoes, a script, a procelin doll, and Boone's Oceanic ticket.

This post reminds me that I owe you a bunch of Squirrel Nut Zippers. I can't remember the name of the band you were telling me about with the dirge-like dixie jazz. Could you please refresh my memory? Thanks

The Preservation Hall Jazz Band, that would be, if you're referring to what was on the CD player in Serenity!

I live in Atlanta, so I can sleep in my own bed and take the train directly to Peachtree Center, where the Con is held. No transportation or hotel costs! sweetcheri is staying Thursday night at my house. Wish you guys could be here with us! *hugs*
