I thought of you the other day and I hope your baby survives OK. I had fun in town 2 weeks ago, but I can't say I'm ready to move there!

Hope you, your family and your dog (dogs?) are safe and doing well, LB.

Ditto your Boxster. Along with you, your family and the rest of those affected by the hurricane, it too will be in my thoughts. But NOT the shoe and purse collection...I'll leave THAT to the women of the forum. (Sorry. I'm a guy, ya know---I gotta draw the line somewhere.)

Ahh, there's my Heineken guy!

Well, we're here in the middle of nowhere in Zachary, LA. I lost my BlackBerry signal when I got here but now I'm able to get on WiFi. Thankfully my mom convinced my brother to evacuate too so I won't be worried about him, just my car. I brought the purses and shoes with me in a big plastic bin. When I was loading it in the car my dad was like, "What in the hell is in here?" We have two dogs with us. Now just waiting to hear what is going to happen with the storm and trying not to go insane staying with my parents and brother and two dogs in a little country house.

So sad that this has to happen to the most interesting and unique city in this country. I've visited N.O. three times and just love it. The absolutely unbelievable restaurants, the fantastic music (I just love The Subdudes and The Radiators), and the beautiful architecture of the French Quarter! Glad to hear that you are safe! I hope everything works out for you!

And just to lighten up the mood once again...

hahaha!

I need to Photoshop Mr. Heineken into my boxster with a bunch of beers.

Hey LB,

Good luck out there and stay safe!

Hope everything works out for you and the fams!

Take good care.

I am glad to hear that everything seems to be turning out okay. I work for the Corps of Engineers (not always a good thing to reveal to folks from New Orleans) and have been following this pretty closely. Been working on the west bank pump stations from up here in St. Paul. When this thing was tracking west I was a little worried about the West Wego area but think everything is basically okay there. When they get the big gate built on the industrial canal it will help a lot with that surge they kept showing and talking about on TV Monday.
