    It's still mind-boggling to think of everything New Orleans went through 10 years ago. It's a beautiful, unique city.

    Sometimes ten years can be just a blink. I'm sure there have been news reporters all over the city doing their looks back. I know our local news channel did a story.

      Dear Julian, it was a very intense week for everyone here. the disaster affected every life and every surviving life needed to express! there were so many ceremonies, events, conferences, tv coverage, both appropriate and over-the-top. On Sat, my whole body felt tired and overwhelmed by all of the remembering. yes, 10 years goes by in a blink, but why is the afternoon so slow? love, susanna

See our LaRC blog on the right for the mention. love, sp
