I love my life

What a week! And it's only Thursday...I think. Was in New Orleans Monday and Tuesday. No not for Mardi Gras but for work. Yes my show put me in New Orleans for the beginning of Mardi Gras. How much better can you get? It feels good. I feel good. Doing what you love and having fun doing it is what life should be about.

Although I had a blast in New Orleans, there is still a very dark side. The French Quarters gives the illusion of that city being fine, fun, and fabulous, but drive deeper into the city one would swear Katrina hit only a few months earlier. Wow! Yes, no lie. homes demolished, neighborhoods with every other house condemned. I saw a woman painting the outside of her house, while the inside remained unlivable. And this was the good area. I didn't see the worst of it all. People shouldn't live like this. I feel I should do something, play my part, give someone some type of happiness. New Orleans moved me.
