Sorry folks, I know it has been a long time, but there has been so much going on in the past oh I don’t know, five or six months that my head is literally spinning. Believe it or not, I’m actually at a point in my life right now when I’m pretty happy. Things are [...]

Hope for the Holidays Cash Kerouac Growing up Jewish, Christmas itself never really meant much to me. For one thing, I had Chanukah.

I live in Metairie, Louisiana. It is a suburb of New Orleans and I’m about six miles from the heart of the city.
