Thanks to C. D. Oldenburg for this link to an article in the New York Times about how part of the other 90% live up in Missouri.

NOLA 2005 Reflections
Now that I've “caught up” with my posts about the trip this past weekend, I thought I might offer some reflections (you know the deep and meaningful insights that drift into the mind from time to time). People: I have to say the best part of the weekend was the group. I've travelled a lot… Continue reading
NOLA Update Finale
Sunday is our last day in New Orleans. Bobby and Ian left on an earlier flight with American, so it was just Layton, Brian, Chris and I left. We decided that we would try to get on an earlier flight, however it appeared that all flights out of NOLA was booked solid. So we decided… Continue reading

NOLA 2005
Just in case you hadn't realized this, I'm over in NOLA this weekend with Bobby, Ian, Layton, Brian and Chris. Read their blogs as if they are my own (unless they say something about me).
