Do I miss the news business?
Four years ago today was my last day at CNN, after a 14 year career that started at a hair above entry level. And, effectively, four years ago today was my last day of a 20+ year career in the news business that started in local radio at the age of 17 reading the news…

Biking it up
This past Saturday was the 3rd annual Bike the Big Easy, and Chuck and I decided to ride again. This is one of those super cool events in the city but this year was the hardest ride so far! It’s definitely not from being out of shape, although I wasn’t in great bike shape. Sadly,…

Another successful Team A wedding
As the week began, the National Hurricane Center had a system deep in the Caribbean that it was monitoring. Fast forward to mid week and it was clear that this system would develop into something a tad more serious….and it had its sights set on New Orleans. This sucks anytime of the year. But especially…

Moving sucks
Chuck and I decided to move when our landlord decided to put our place on the market. Outside of not wanting strangers in my stuff all the time and having to keep it clean and straight every minute of the day, we didn’t want to get stuck with a short turnaround of having to find…

We came, we jogged (and walked), we conquered
Being active in the city is sometimes hard. Between working long hours and meeting up for drinks and dinner, it sometimes feels like there is no time to exercise. So when the registration opened for the Saints 5K a few months ago, I immediately signed up with the knowledge that I finish what I start. …

When a trip doesn’t go as planned
A couple of weeks ago, Chuck and I took off for Las Vegas. We’ve been talking about going there ever since we started dating, but life and other things have prevented us from heading West. And since we still haven’t had a chance to take our “real” honeymoon, we decided a few days in Vegas…

A day of random fun.. on a bike
There is no shortage of outdoor activities in New Orleans. One I don’t take enough advantage of often enough is riding my bike to restaurants and bars. But Sunday found Chuck and I biking around the area and making some “hydration” stops along the way. Riding from the Warehouse District, through the Quarter with a…

Going back to get ahead
Every now and then, I get the opportunity to go back to an area where I once lived. This week finds me in NYC for some work meetings and an interview for my CEO. While here, I’ve had the opportunity to meet up with friends and former colleagues to catch up. All of these conversations,…

Exactly the vacation we needed
Time away from home, work, life’s daily activities and more is always something that is necessary, in my opinion. When I lived in New York (and had less money but a lot more vacation time), I always tried to get away on a quarterly basis. While some of that involved visiting my family in the…
