I wish I had more time in New Orleans — this is our favorite city, it’s where I first kissed Maryam. I just got into my hotel at 11 p.m. and find out I have a 4 a.m. wakeup call. Who said that trying to be President is a glamorous job? I get to see the process up close and personal.
But, forget the politics, I had a nice ride in in an older gentleman’s taxi. He told me how he’s been living out of a FEMA trailer for the past year and just settled with his insurance company after more than a year. He thinks his house will be liveable in a few months.
Something else I noticed: the city was darker than the last time I was here (fewer lights when we flew in). And the airport was totally uncrowded. Complete antithesis to Oakland, which was close to my idea of hell. It was cold, but you couldn’t leave your spot in line.
We’re off to Iowa in the morning.

Doug: no. Although I should open a new blog for the next few days so you can avoid any of the political talk.
I haven’t yet met Edwards so don’t know what kind of computer he uses. I met one of the campaign staff, though, and she has a 12-inch MacBookPro.

It would be interesting to get your perspective on how New Orleans is recovering. You know, if you notice a lot of building or if you just see vast stretches of land that hasn’t been touched since the Hurricane.
