We spent our Thanksgiving in New Orleans in the ghettos, lookin at some blighted houses that need help. Met a woman in a section 8 with 6 kids on one side of shotgun. She was so sweet, invited us in to look around. whew! We wanted to buy that one and we still may. Way we see it, we wouldn't get a house, we'd get a family. A little would go a long way there. We also found a small shotgun we can tackle in Treme once we evict the termites and put a roof on it. I can't help but see potential. I have done it before, you know, dealing with crack dealers bustin my windows.

I know you go on about the city's poor and gangstas sometimes. Just served to make me want to go back. I'm a librarian, maybe I can do something more meaningful than helping lawyers do mergers and acquisitions here in DC. Thought you'd like to know your words contributed to my obsession. Maybe it was the picture of that cat . . . thanks.
