Wow! Look at all these great Biblical flood quotes! Genesis 6:17 “Behold, I, even I am bringing the flood of water upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life, from under heaven; everything that is on the earth shall perish. Genesis 7:7 Then Noah and his sons and his…

Hugging Molly Incarnate in Georgetown
Anyone who has reveled with me at Mardi Gras knows I have this weird affection for New Orleans folk figures. Two years ago, I dressed as “The Axe Man of New Orleans” and last year as Hugging Molly, both folk figures from the fantastic book Gumbo YaYa. The Axeman was certainly more infamous and based…
Republic Embraces Their Inner ’90s
I saw a flyer for The Toadies playing at Republic posted on a telephone pole a few weeks back and it was like I was suddenly walking into an acquaintance I hadn’t seen since ’95 and forgot existed. Then this morning I get an e-mail saying Marcy Playground has “just been announced” for the venue….
O’ Fortuna! You Wretch!
I am going to be in the Destin Nation this weekend and I already prepared myself for the economic impact of missing Decadence. But I wake up this morning and see something that is going to be much harder to miss… Following Antoinette’s heart attack death on Mardi Gras morning, her daughter Betty Fox moved…
Something I Still Don’t Understand Though…

But as a living breathing person, Jason Berry has boldly disarmed his accusers who could point out that he was perhaps working for their political rivals or were holding grudges…
An Error in Time-Space
Something not right. Something no belong.
The Tide Rose!
Just a few thoughts about this year’s conference… – It is always a succinct pleasure getting together in large or small numbers with this group of bright, chaste and sincere folk. The group, as always, was truly magnificent. Much love to all the organizers. In an era where all everyone wants to talk about is…
Rising Tide… Ahhh! Giant Bug!
I have been meaning to write a Rising Tide post but after last night I have to defer the post to another day while I indulge you in one of the primary reasons for blogging in this modern era…giant effin bugs! We saw this fella last night in the laundry room and it is plainly…
Brother Bill’s Great Thrill
Even though he never threatened us, I have entered full-on storm-geek status this season and have been checking on brother Bill daily. It might be some sort of weird adrenalin jockey affiliation I have developed in association with storm chasing, but I go back to him several times a day. Bill is a truly amazing…
