New Orleans Helped Me Find My Inner Crazy
I’ve been playing around with travel posters (I got the idea from NASA), though this week’s “tour” is a real place. We lived in New Orleans for 18 years. That is the longest place I’ve lived anywhere other than where I grew up (which is a tie, since I went to college at 18). New…
