Gumbo, po-boys, and water lines

I just got back from New Orleans on Thursday. I was there for a week attending the American Library Association's Annual Conference, the city's first major convention since Katrina. I got to volunteer with the New Orleans Public Library, see several old friends (from my high school days in New Orleans), and see some of Hurricane Katrina's damage 10 months later. It was horrifying to see the damage, but I was truly amazed at the positive, hopeful spirits of New Orleanians. The city will bounce back and be better than ever, this is very clear...
