On Monday night, we went to Orpheus, Harry Connick Jr's parade. As MrMan slept or chilled, despite the loud bands and tractors pulling the floats, I couldn't help but think that the New Orleans half of the blood running through him must be very powerful. I could see that a few people were thrown off by my walking around with this baby. I even got a, "Good Lord! There's a baby in there!" and a, "Is that really a baby in there?" And as I bent down for beads, with him strapped to my chest, I understood why that half of his blood is so powerful: this city is an integral part of me.

Posted by: nas at March 2, 2006 12:02 PMWhile I'm sorry you had to leave your sweet husband to go back to New Orleans, I'll send all kinds of pleasant thoughts that this move will benefit both of you immensely.
Andrew and I will be spending June 2 to June 9 in New Orleans and we'd love to try to meet up for a lunch or cup of tea if you guys will have time. We're staying in Faouburg-Marigny at a B&B. I'll email you closer to the date to see what your schedule is like.
Best of luck to your family, Shokufeh.
