From Evolution to Survival: navigating the beauty and challenges of midlife all while fighting glioblastoma terminal brain cancer with grace and dignity.
We were dripping wet when we got into the Lyft on Basin Street in New Orleans, and I hoped it didn’t annoy the driver too bad. A storm rolled in right as we were wrapping up our tour of St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 (go...
Nicholas Cage, of “National Treasure” and “Face/Off” fame, was filming a movie in New Orleans when he fell in love with the Crescent City. A fan, if you will, of the occult, he was smitten with the infamously haunted and perhaps vexed LeLaurie Mansion. He...
