Some Katrina memories. The Calm Before the Storm at Consultant Confessions. Writing about Katrina last year was such a powerful part of my life. I found my inner voice that I didn’t know existed. I worry if that was a fleeting moment that I will never be able to grasp again.
Police need to step up activity on Todd Place, NE. Two shootings this week, reports Eckington Block. Excerpt: This is a continuation of the violence earlier this year in the same area. Let me make it easy for the police. There are bad people with guns and drugs that live on the unit block of Todd Pl. Please continue patrols and your policing efforts. One night of a spotlight won’t do the trick.

I'm not sure watching George S. sweat all over a stairmaster can be construed as a benefit. He used to go to the Sport & Health in north Dupont, and we were often on the same workout schedule. His sweat puddled on the floor beneath the stairmaster. Eeeeww.
