I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

Taylor just called me, ecstatic. She's over at Morgan State for her science fair banquet and awards (in my neighborhood) , and she placed second in the biological sciences! Her best friend won first and an all-expense-paid trip to CA. She's OVER THE MOON! And I am so proud of her. Her high school will be hanging a banner with their pictures up.

We're gonna figure out how to video chat.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Huh, my sister just told me that University of Northern Iowa just knocked Kansas out of the NCAA tournament. That's a surprise.

Depending on the area of town you live in, crime can be a consideration.

What are the safer neighborhoods, in your opinion? I like the look of the Marigny.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Looks like you can search the crime records by neighborhood here:

There's also this: [link]

I personally never had any problems, and neither have my parents. Most of it is probably just a question of being sensible. I am not an expert, however, so you'd probably want to talk to someone who lives there, or has lived there post-Katrina.

Yeah, I'm not too squeamish about stuff like that- I agree that being sensible is the best course regardless of neighborhood.

Wow. There's always upsets in the Big Dance, but that one REALLY screwed a shitload of people's betting pools.

Heh. There's something funny about just giving a baby a frosted cake and stepping back. And taking pictures.
