We All Got Crabs!

About Me

This one goes out to my cuban neighbor, friend and guitar teacher Don Ariel Arias, who brought good company, music and laughter into my family's lives for many years...the pain nows lies heavy in my heart that you are gone. how sad it is to take things for granted and not to express everything. time is definitely a thief but what you do with it makes all the difference. If I only could have only served you better. I know you love(d) me and I you...la musica va a resonar por la eternidad.
adios admiral,
su bella dama

Run to the hills,
Run for your life!
Goodbye...
Less than .5 left for...
Vote wisely, participate in local movements and be aware that the brilliant minds that solved the energy crisis in the 1970's were silenced by corporate and government greed. Where is this leading us now? Do we follow? It's a choice we must live out everyday as we do our best just to survive.
Glad to see life and hope after the chaos. Many think the cards are stacked against this city ever coming back.
I can see why, but am not ready to call it a day just yet.
NOLA in better times...
