Blue Roof

Here is a picture of our "Blue Roof". Special thanks to Carlos and his crew for coming out on short notice to put it up.

Every time we have a major storm, we hear how the flooding comes farther inland each time. Barrier islands are disapearing. Officials have known about the problems since about 1950. 58 years and pretty much nothing has been done about it. Why? Corrupt local and state governments and federal indifference? It doesn't make sense to let south Louisiana wither away. We have abundant oil and seafood resources here. It just makes no sense to me.

Back in the swing of things

I'm hoping things will be getting back to normal a little bit this week. I don't feel up to talking about Hurricane Gustav too much right now. basically we came out of it okay. We have some roof damage causing a small leak, so we have joined the blue roof club.

Bridget had a minor arm fracture while playing when we were evacuated, but she is doing fine. Didn't even need a cast.

I've been having sinus issues, so aside from the day job, I have pretty much been trying to sleep when home. I am starting to feel a little better. I did perform a show last night. My preparation was minimal due to the evacuation and the illness, but the performance was not hindered by it.

Anyway, I will try to blog a few times this week.
