Everyday Evidence

Currently: learning how to be a nurse in about 20 months, despite having an English and history major and no health care experience. Hoo boy. Formerly: a virtual collection of lists, titles, documents, observations, secrets, memories and miscellaneous ephemera to prove I was here. And that you were too.

The 5th Anniversary of Katrina

A few not-profound thoughts:
1) my career path and the person I am changed as a direct result of living in post-Katrina New Orleans
2) as a person who still really does try to love America, what happened there is one of the biggest possible disappointments, and for a whole lot of predictable reasons
3) I sometimes miss living there, even though it also made me miserable
4) I wish I could hug all the little old ladies - thinking about them still makes me want to cry
