Line at Academy Sports in Houma, Lousiana after Saints win Superbowl XLIV
We Tivo’ed the game and the ringing church bells and volume of noise in Houma gave away the surprise. We couldn’t help it, and just had to drive out to see the reaction. This is Academy Sports around 10:30pm Feb. 7th, 2010 in Houma, Louisiana. I just keep thinking that my parents were there in…

A Walk Down Our Block – Mardi Saints Superbowl & Mardi Gras Parades!
I’ve wanted to do this since we moved into this house in Houma. It’s a quick walk down the block on Saints Superbowl Sunday to see the Krewe of Hyacinthians and Krewe of Titans parade through Houma. We live about two blocks from the main parade route. Although the krewes always have a theme when…

Ta Ta Tioga!
Roughly thirty years ago my parents bought a 14 foot wide by 80 foot long mobile home. It wasn’t the original plan. After they moved to Louisiana they spent several months dealing with some of the crookedest real-estate people you can imagine. For some reason these people thought out of state newbies from Phoenix would…
