I don't even want to try and imagine the sadness New Orleanians must feel.<BR/><BR/>I did laugh when I heard the comment about New Orleans people not venturing very far. It's true.

I see that look in too many eyes here in Baton Rouge.ellesuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15325851120856048298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099114.post-1156305257837632092006-08-22T23:54:00.000-04:002006-08-22T23:54:00.000-04:00I just found this blog doing research for my upcom...I just found this blog doing research for my upcoming hosting gig for Pediatric Grand Rounds--and he writes about Spike Lee's movie, which you mentioned:<BR/><BR/>http://buildneworleans.blogspot.com/2006/08/spike-lees-movie.htmlMilliner's Dream, a woman of many "hats"...https://www.blogger.com/profile/15550878385861622731noreply@blogger.com
