Thaw before reheating.

Arriving yesterday, a package written in her hand. Postmarked on Saturday, the day she left us. Inside, her book. And a note:
I Send this Book with Warmth and Affection
“Shortly shall my labors end.”
“Gentle breath of yours my sails
Must fill, or else my project fails
Which was to please.”
“I shall miss thee.”

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.
