About Me


------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------I'm a proud blood donor. I'm not as consistant as I would like to be - only in the 3 gallon club at the moment, but working on it.Since I don't always have the money to donate to all the causes I believe in, I try to take a stand when I get the opportunity, such as volunteering on a reservation, participating in The New Orleans No Aids Walk and marching through the French Quarter with the NAACP as a statement against racism (some may remember what promted the action; if not but interested, feel free to ask). I believe in the three Rs: Reduce, Reuse, & Recycle. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------------

My Interests

Many things arrest my interest. I'm fascinated by both simple pleasures and the complexities life.


Our time in New Orleans (above), particularly the events surrounding Hurricane Katrina (below), has left a lasting impression on my thoughts.-----------------------------------Jan Eliot - Stone Soup -------------------------------------------- New Orleans obviously has a long way to go. This was taken by a friend 01-Sept-07. This is from a summer rain. "There was over a foot of water...we had to stay inside until it was over, and then it took 2 hours to drain. Since Katrina, they ... fixed the levee breaches, not the levee itself, which means that if we have a hurricane or even a "normal" storm like yesterday, parts of the city that never flooded before(i.e. the French Quarter and Garden District) will flood." (Michele) ---------------------------------------------------------
