Hanging on for Dear Life: Katrina Survivors" Daily Struggle to Live
- The representative of the neighborhood "Lakeview" (an upper middle class mostly white neighborhood of NOLA) just told a story that will stay with me for the rest of my life. She told the story of 2 volunteers from Boston, a mother and a 9 year old daughter. After a week of working, the daughter turned to the mother and asked her when they would be returning to America. The lady representative broke down into tears and asked the senate panel the same question. When will we be returning to America?

I agree with you about the reporting. Everything I've seen from this man I've basically agreed with. They seem to be trying to make a problem where there isn't one. And Obama's speech was fabulous.
BTW, thanks for dancing with me at Ashley's funeral. It was lovely to see you there. Hope you're doing okay.
