For some reason, folks who can't remember neighbors' e-mail addresses can remember mine, and I've spent some of the morning putting New Orleans exiles in touch with each other. Thanks for this. I've been watching WWL, too.

Most of my friends live uptown, but they still can't get back. I have one friend, though, who owns a house on the Esplanade -- he's working in Pennsylvania right now. He's a bundle of nerves, understandably so.
