I’m Thankful for Higher Ground

I was just reading an entry by Clint, over at BlueFairlane.Blogspot.com where he was sharing his take on the devastation in New Orleans. I was posting a comment to his blog when I thought I might as well stick it on my page too. I’ve been to Nawlins a couple of times. I categorize as [...]

Birthday Extravaganza
