Thaw before reheating.

The news is still coming in, but yes — we are shaken by the violence at Virginia Tech this morning. Paul and I are both graduates of VT. It is where we met, dated, became engaged, and had our first home together. We are very concerned for those we know in the University and community and our hearts are with them.

Regular dishes on life in New Orleans, historic home renovation, raising kids, completing a PhD, travel near and far, global concerns, and health issues.
You know the story, right? International health... work all over the place... drag my kids around in sacks through villages in Central America... yadda yadda. I decided to go for another degree, so in 2004 we moved to New Orleans with no intention of staying. Then Katrina. And then *blink*blink* New Orleans is a completely different place and we just can't leave. Suddenly I'm on TV talking about immigrants and health and Paul is starting a company. Or two. His side is high-tech, mine is community health and our lives are yearly evacuation, regular celebrations, and nonstop work here, there, and everywhere. Our door is always open. I only ask that if you decide to go ahead and make yourself that mint julep, you make one for me, too.
We strive to make our life our argument.

Beyond unbelievable. I’ve only been to the Tech campus once, but I was struck by how comfortable it seemed, beautiful stone buildings and layout. A thriving, modern, top-notch university hidden amidst the quiet the Blue Ridge Mountains. Today’s mood reminds me very much of 9-11, in the sense of apprehension and horror. My mother called me in the middle of class today, which she never does, so I knew something was up. The first thing I thought when she called was, I wish I were covering that story. Just another reminder that I’m in the right career.
