i've been reluctant to post my thoughts on New Orleans because they're just too mixed up right now. all at once i am thinking these things:
1. we almost moved there
2. it's my favorite place in the world - anyone that knows me knows that
3. i'm utterly disgusted with our government and devestated by the fact that i can't really do anything about the george bush problem
4. i feel a perverse attraction to sensationalized news - in the way that i did after 9/11. i can't stop looking at horrible, depressing photos - even when lesley tells me not to

so, there we are. i hope things can get back to normal there sometime. i read a quote that there was "a total societal breakdown" after many officers turned in their badges and some of the shadier citizens took to the streets with looted guns.

we were supposed to go there for our honeymoon in march but i don't think that's happening. suggestions for other places?
