FEMA, Katrina, and other bad words

Thoughts on Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans, and having a brand new baby boy

Grammy-winning Ozomatli came to New Orleans for JazzFest and went to jam with a local band.

Which local band?

The Marching 100.

If you are a high school kid, how awesome is that?

LatinTeacher: I grew up in Metairie, LA and lived in actual New Orleans for 12 years. The day that I turned 30, I moved to New Jersey and then to Easton, PA 4 years ago. As luck would have it, I was in New Orleans when Katrina approached and evacuated to Jackson, MS. Other than that, I am a Latin and history teacher at a small, independent school in NJ. I miss New Orleans a lot, think about it all the time, and try to go there whenever the work schedule allows.
