the bons temps did roulez

We saw the French Quarter...
...and worked in the Lower 9th Ward......the Upper 9th Ward......Chalmette...... and Lakeview, near the 17th Street Levee that broke.

There was some necessary destruction......and some unnecessary destruction (not by us)......which somehow led to Tiff and Kayla being on the news......and Jayme skipping with a former Tulane Terp.

There was anger and bitterness...
...as well as hope and determination.
We were serious......and ridiculous.
There was food......and there was food!
Yes, there really were Mardi Gras beads everywhere.

We served each other......and people we didn't know by gutting their homes.
People served us too (a LOT)......and we got to know them.
It came to be our home......and we are anxious to see people come back.
We were a team......or maybe a band, called Shattered Cat.
