- Bio
- The young adults in the banner are my children. A Houstonian, I have spent my career as a full-time educator and writer. A mother and wife, a reader and music lover, I mostly write about what I care about. That includes poetryand short stories. This year I'm interested in politics, another hurricane, the economy, survival, cooking, philosophy. Rene, my husband, my son Jared, and my daughter Genevieve, are my favorite subjects. And yes, I love to tell stories about them and everything else I encounter on my journey.

Class, Religion, Race and Immigration (In Black and White)
This appears to be a ranting. It is. But I don't know what to say exactly. I have not been excluded from the conversation, but simply dismissed. After all, how can a conservative Christian have anything relevant to say on a Blog site, especially about religion, class, race, immigration and gove… Read full post »
The Music on My Mind: Too Old, Too Young, and Counting ...
Sometimes in this jaded world, we forget to let the people who count know what we think of them We get caught up in doing more in order to be more, when just being in close contact with someone would really count more than a would-be pundit's words in a blog. … Read full post »

An Open Letter to Barrack Obama, Our President Elect
Dear Mr. Obama,
Your triumph is the victory of all people everywhere. What I want to share with you today is why your election is a victory for me. I am a middle-aged Creole woman of many races, someone who like you, is often referred to as a mutt among us… Read full post »
My Election Songs -- November 4th 2008

Democracy is coming to the USA
We'll be making love again.… Read full post »
Barack Obama: Our Canary in the Coal Mine
Tonight I cannot sleep. I am busy lighting candles, meditating on the Audacity of Hope, both Barack's book and the nobility of his cause, this effort to "dream dreams that never were and ask, why not?" George Bernard Shaw's words are haunting me; they echo tonight in the voice of Robert… Read full post »
Gary Lee Barlow
The uncanny, says Freud, isn’t the perfectly strange: it’s the half familiar. I see so many faces, hear so many voices. I know them not, yet well; their words, my words merge and I cannot remember what news-reel in my semi-conscious dream state, they poured out of be… Read full post »
Hello Folks:
Houston, Texas: 18 September 2008 -- I am a multiple hurricane survivor, a generational chronicler of Gulf Coast storms dating back over a century that my family can remember. As an indigenous native of the Texas-Louisiana Gulf Coast, a Creole, I can vouch for the fact tha… Read full post »
