Six weeks ago, I moved back to the city locals call "Katrinaville".  I live in a neighborhood called "the Bywater", east of the Marigny/French Quarter area and I work uptown, by the riverbend.

With the hurricane season kicking into high gear and the first year anniversary of the tragedy of Katrina, I feel this is the right time to start the New Orleans blog again.  I will update this blog as often as I can, but our cable connection is sketchy ( Katrinaville is where nothing should be expected...), so please don't be offended if I suddenly disappear (which could happen if we have to evacuate this year).
