Even at the End of Days, there will be lap dancing.

The longer you live in New Orleans, the more unfit you become to live anywhere else.

If you cannot improve upon the silence, do not speak.

A New Orleans credo: When life gives you lemons--make daiquiris.

Even at the End of Days, there will be lap dancing.

Time is running out for the climate

I'm not going to lay down in words the lure of this place. Every great writer in the land, from Faulkner to Twain to Rice to Ford, has tried to do it and fallen short. It is impossible to capture the essence, tolerance, and spirit of south Louisiana in words and to try is to roll down a road of clichés, bouncing over beignets and beads and brass bands and it just is what it is. It is home.
