I’m a native who just moved back last month, and I notice the difference too. I’d be lying if i said I haven’t become the same way. People are stressed and worried and down, and if you never met one, let me tell ya: anxious and depressed people can be REAL cranky! A lot of people, like me, are also tired of hearing what we need to do, should have done, or let the city sink into the sea from people who don’t understand what’s really going on.

Just my 2 cents. but Monday was KICKASS!!

The Saints game was the best thng to happen to this city in a long time. I am so grateful that I was there, but more grateful that I could share it with Kent and with Dave.

It is very true about the “chip” on everyone’s shoulder. I see it so often when I am out. I cannot explain it either…I don’t know if it is a defense against what has happened to all of us. It costs 3X’s as much to get anything repaired and it takes 5X’s as long to get it done. People may feel that they will be taken advantage of at every turn and this sullenness is the result. I want the Southern charm of New Orleans to return and I don’t know if that is possible. I have caught myself too many times buying into the language of the street and I don’t want to be that way. I have recently learned that I am a “SWAG’….Sourthern Women Age Gracefully and that is exactly what I want to be ( without the “age” part).

Thank you again, Kent, for the most wonderful evening. I will cherish every moment for a long, long time.
