The Journey

Goin' home

Its going to be hard leaving Baltimore. This city has been very good to me. I have made some wonderful friends here. Last night was my going away party and the gathered group was phenomenal. But going back to New Orleans does feel like going home. It is a completion of the full circle of the Katrina exodus. I did things in Baltimore I could never do in NOLA and these experiences will be foundational as I set up the school and my projects down there.

Congratulations. It's possibly too much for you to type the whole story, but I'm interested in knowing if you're able to go back to your own home, or simply the city itself. Did you lose possessions, or worse, friends? With the recent Atlanta record-breaking floods, I'm getting a closer look at what you must have gone through, only YOU had to leave the city itself. I hope your move is pleasant and that you never have to face that kind of thing again.

Having lived a while in Washington, DC, I can imagine you will miss the proximity to the other major cities in the area and all of the cultural offerings there.

Good luck, Druben! With the move, the school and everything! Keep us posted.

Movin' Day
Wishing you the best with all things "moving."

I wanted to post the Holy Modal Rounder's song "Movin' Day" but could only find a piece of it towards the end of this video.

Wishing you happiness and satisfaction in New Orleans.
