Wine and Cheese means normalcy
Someone posted on Twitter on Thursday that the city of New Orleans issued the mandatory stay at home order exactly 4 months ago (March 16). It was the day I got back from a 16 day trip to the Seattle area to cover the initial outbreak of coronavirus at a nursing home outside the city.…

Half Down, Half to Go…. But To What?
2020 has been a year. For everyone. But now it’s officially half over. However, we also have half of it to go. But where are we going? Lately, I’ve been restless. I seriously doubt am going out on a limb by saying that the majority of us feel that way. My life, especially during the…

Working at the beach, and not hating it
I had the opportunity to go with Chuck and some friends to Gulfport to check out a condo this past weekend. It sounded great. I am 100% on board hitting any place where there is a water view and a pool to cool off in. But the problem was, I was scheduled to work all…

Peace out, Krewe of Nyx
I’ve debated actually writing anything about this. But my reasons for staying and now leaving the Krewe of Nyx are more characters than a tweet or FB post allow. I wrote this for my own purposes and am sharing in hopes of advancing the conversations that we have to have on racisom. In late 2014,…

Educate yourself
This is a great time to educate yourself. Also, bravo to New Orleans for the peaceful protests. It was an honor to be out there Monday night and I look forward to more peaceful protests this week. Here are some links that will help you learn more about why the Black Lives Matter movement is…

A weekend away during the pandemic
For years, my Memorial Day was spent at the beach with family. We typically were pretty chill and just enjoyed the surf, sand and sun for the full week. In recent past, it’s normally been at my place in New Orleans as Chuck and I have spent time at the pool, bounced around on a…

The future of communications is in good hands
I still feel young. I think I act pretty young too. But then I speak to college students about their experiences and realize that I am the age, if not a little older, of most of their parents! So maybe I’m not quite as young as I feel? Recently, I did an industry immersion session…

Planning out What’s Next
I’m done. I’m so over sitting at home and not thinking ahead. I’m a spontaneous planner. What do I mean by that? I like to plan out my experiences while still being open to trying things out on the fly. For instance, I like to plan that I’m going somewhere, say the beach, over a…

A little bit of fun in this strange time
To have everything that makes New Orleans “New Orleans” cancelled is weird, odd and just doesn’t seem right. Sure, it makes sense and I completely understand the why. But it’s still weird. This past weekend would have been two of my favorite events: the Zurich Classic and weekend one of Jazz Fest. Obviously both have…

Finding our “normal for now”
Sorry, but this is not the “new normal”. This stay home unless it’s absolutely essential mandate, closure of businesses and worry day in and day out of not only getting sick but having a job the next day is not normal. And it’s not going to last. But the questions remain: When are we going…
