My thoughts are with the super tall man from Camellia's, who bent over the small restaurant counter to serve hamburgers and refill drinks. They are with Dr. McCluggage, did he save all his golf shoes and bow ties? They also skim but dare not pause on the "good folks" in the Superdome... Every time I ask what I did to deserve not having a medical school in NO, a firm voice says -- What about them?

It is uncertain and my thoughts are scattered. I have a million imaginary options but only one plan of action -- read and wait.
