I started this blog to keep my church, friends and family updated on my year volunteering in Katrina recovery with the Presbyterian Church (USA). I've now signed on for a second year working in disaster recovery and another year living in Mississippi. It's getting good....

It's not as fun here in my room by myself. I miss NOLA and all it's craziness. I had some Jazz Fest flashbacks this weekend b/c it was so stinking hot at the Balloon Fest/Blues Traveler show. But like JF, also really fun!
