Miscellaneous

We?re coming up on the 5-year anniversary of Katrina. On Saturday I?ll be at Rising Tide, a conference of New Orleans bloggers and other social-media types.

Here?s what my heart remembers about Katrina. Thanks to the kindness of people I barely knew, my wife and I had comfortable shelter during and immediately after the storm. Nevertheless, I remember waking up every morning during those days, and a thought crashing in seconds after I awoke: This isn?t a nightmare. It?s really happening. I really can?t go home. My city is really drowning.
