Back in 2005 my family was planning on taking a trip to New Orleans, but our plans were washed away by hurricane Katrina. But next week we're finally making the trip.

I preparation, I decided to get my blog up and running again. I'm brining my laptop (how could I not?) and will be taking pictures throughout the week.

I wrote that I wouldn't blog again (a few times), but have changed my mind again. This time I've decided to restart the blog because I'm having trouble finding a good place to compile links and clarifying my thoughts and notes and the myriad of other type of information that need placing but don't have a good home.

So I'm back on the wagon again, for now.
