SAINTS AND FOOTBALL


I DON'T FOLLOW PRO FOOTBALL. I KNOW IT IS A HUGE DAY FOR FOOTBALL FANS. (ANNA AND I ARE WAITING FOR THE GAME TO START TO DO OUR GROCERY SHOPPING, FIGURING IT WILL BE PRETTY EMPTY AT PUBLIX).

OKAY, SORRY, GOT OFF TOPIC. TODAY WE ARE SAINTS FANS. WHY? FLORIDA GATORS DON'T USUALLY GO FOR THE UNDERDOG. WE ARE JUST THAT GOOD.

WHY ARE WE SAINTS FANS? BECAUSE NEW ORLEANS NEEDS THIS, THEY NEED A BOOST. I AM NOT NAIVE ENOUGH TO THINK THAT A FOOTBALL GAME IS GOING TO MIRACULOUSLY MAKE THINGS ALL BETTER. BUT THEY DESERVE SOMETHING GOOD.

THEY ARE NOT ALRIGHT, SO MUCH WORK STILL NEED TO BE DONE. THANK GOD WE NOW HAVE A PRESIDENT THAT KNOWS THAT.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK "THE GREAT DELUGE" BY DOUGLAS BRINKLEY. IT IS ONE OF THE BEST NON- FICTION BOOKS I HAVE EVER READ AND TELLS THE TERRIFYING STORY OF NEW ORLEANS.

ALSO: CHECK OUT: http://www.makeitrightnola.org/
IT IS HEARTENING TO SEE WHAT HAS BEEN DONE. SOME OF THE HOMES ARE AMAZING, HOWEVER THE PEOPLE OF NEW ORLEANS STILL NEED OUR HELP.

SO HERE IS SOMETHING I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD SAY:

GO SAINTS!
