Hey everyone! Thanks for reading "Spanish Trace." I don't often post fiction since I started writing the memoir, so it's a nice break from me and my mind, a bad neighborhood that I have often had to walk in alone lately. But you guys are great to go along for the ride -- I plan to have a complete draft of Second Day Reported by December, God willing and the creek don't rise. Happy Saturday to all!

Michelle,
Happy Saturday to you,too!
A draft! Yay!
My sole friend in New Orleans lives in the 9th Ward. Unfortunately she always prefer that I go visit HER, so I've had lots of opportunities to watch beatings & other fights, kids being dragged away from bus stops before they're stabbed, etc. All the while my friend's standing up, leaning over the balcony railing, "Oh my god! Did you SEE that???" I'm just trying to drag her down behind cover, hoping we don't get shot & wondering when she'll ever make the trip out to my place again, instead.
So far it's been over a year. Needless to say, at this point, if she's not going to make some effort, I'm ready never to make any again.
But I digress...
You don't need walk alone M. But then you are hardheaded about somethings.
