I’ve been told that no one really watches Treme, David Simon’s original HBO series cataloguing the story of our beloved New Orleans in the three years following the bitch, Katrina (or “The Thing” as Chris Rose so aptly named it). The plot lines are thick and run both parallel and perpendicular to each other, as things […]

I’m really proud of our big kids. They are all of a sudden making a real attempt to start living healthier. As you read this post please keep in mind that we are a New Orleans family living on the Mississippi Coast. Let’s not beat around the bush–we love live to eat. We eat at […]

Sorry I’ve been away. I’ve been cleaning up. When we last spoke our family was unwelcome at Denny’s (and Starbucks and the beach) because Scottie likes to puke when we go out. No my kid doesn’t have a stomach virus, that’s my professional opinion. He may have big tonsils, he may eat too fast, or […]

Having four kids can change a man. I remember when my first born, Georgia Rose, was only a few months old we had her out to dinner with one of Robin’s best friends. Russell’s Marina Grill in Lakeview to be exact, damn good omelets….but that was before the storm. Georgia was in her carrier and […]

This morning we all woke up a few minutes late which means its boot camp mode getting ready for school. R.J decides to bug me about some toy hippopotamus that he needs to bring to school for “H” day. It’s not “H” day, R.J., its “G” day and you are bringing a picture of Graham. […]

It was Good Friday and I thought I would take the opportunity to remind my two older kids what the Easter Holiday was all about. Georgia Rose has always been my little Holy one. She knew all her prayers by the time she was 4 and loves to talk about God. I even brought her […]

This week I decided to have lunch with Georgia and R.J. at school, an event that was overdue. R.J.’s day was yesterday and I brought Scottie along with me. R.J., being the gentle giant that he is was so happy to see us. No shortage of hugs and kisses, a fact that I’m all too […]

Today was one of those days that don’t come around often enough for a guy. Me and my best buds spent the entire day fishing Biloxi Bay with Team Brodie Charters out of Biloxi, MS. The oil spill last year really put a crimp in these Gulf Coast boy’s lifestyle. A few weeks ago, we […]

A lot of moms out there are finding themselves in a position that they wouldn’t have predicted back in 1983– they have to talk about Star Wars. It seems like our sons have followed in daddys’ footsteps and are hooked on the greatest epic of all time, Sorry Homer (not Simpson). I got a text […]

The idea for this blog post came to me while sitting in first class on my flight to Tampa wearing my searsucker suit on my way to give a neurophysiology talk to a group of anesthesiologists. Everyone around me was ordering bloody Mary’s since it was fairly early. I ordered a beer. Despite my outward […]
