Belated Happy New Year from Metairie

I hope all are happy and healthy. This new year we are spending time in Metairie with my parents. The conversations of contractors and roofs have lessened, but not totally gone away. Thankfully, there appears to be more talk of the Sugar Bowl, and Saints. Things are not normal in Metairie, but they are better. Every two years people wonder how Representative Jefferson got re-elected. In other words, things are not normal but they appear to be closer. How could we ever be considering life has returned to normal when the Saints are being taken seriously as contenders for the Super Bowl? I hope everyone has a happy and healthy New Year. I will be going into the city itself over the next few days and I will probably have a bit more to say then.

By the way, it appears that President Bush has finally found a job he is suited for. He was doing a great job ushering former first lady Betty Ford to her seat in the National Cathedral. More Later.
