30 May 2015 There is a lull in sport around here. It’s 96 days until the regular football season. We must prepare. #Saints #football 0

28 May 2015 Ken says “Let’s go to the Westbank and eat báhn mì.” So we drive over the mighty Mississippi in his Honda Pilot, which is kind of like a spaceship. We make it there before the storm hits and order what we call around here a “Vietnamese Po’boy” even though I’m pretty sure that the báhn mì came first. The first crack of thunder shakes the building, and the rain comes pouring down Louisiana style. We watch smaller cars get washed away by the flash floods. By the time we get the sandwiches, hail has opened up the ceiling, and we hunker down and chow down in the dry corner with everyone else. The hail stops, and we check the spaceship for damage. The hull has suffered thousands of direct hits. Pockmarked everywhere. Ken says it was worth it. 0

27 May 2015 It’s almost ritual now. Whenever we visit the kids, we take a run down to the canal at the end of the road. One time we found some boys catching turtles. Another time we saw the alligator slip into the water. When the kids were young, we found aliens and monsters and ghosts. We walked along landscapes of our boundless collective imagination. Now they are entering high school, and it becomes increasingly difficult to spin a tale that they believe. But sometimes now, one of them will take up the story and send it in a new direction. That is how I know we are passing on the gift of narrative. The gift of telling beautiful lies. #fiction #beautifulLies #family 0
