Soulshine

"New Orleans has changed. People's priorities have changed. People I know are not about dressing up and going to big events, going to the opera, anymore, wearing all that fancy costume jewelry and such. New Orleans has a new sense to
me. People are about small things, things that make their soul feel better." Norma Bridges

As the second anniversary approaches, it's good to see some signs of life.

Musicians' Village in the Upper Ninth is sounding again. 80 houses, mostly for musicians built by Habitat for Humanity volunteers. I cut windowsills, installed doorknobs, cut siding and painted a few of those houses. Tiny contribution, for sure, but makes the soul feel better.

Damn sure better than rain.
