To my eyes, the above painting of Jesus looks less “My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?” and more “Sweet cuppin’ cakes, the punches just keep coming.” My feelings exactly. Lately, I have been feeling lousy about life. That’s why I haven’t posted a word recently, despite having spent the [...] 
At long last, I will fill you in on my little sister‘s fabled wedding, gathering photos from thither and yon. The setting: Jackson Square in New Orleans’ famous French Quarter. Heavenly. Photographer: Me, for once!
