Should I stay or should I go?
August 28, 2008Long story short, I'm no longer a reporter for the Times Record News, although I'm still a freelancer for the paper as well as a blogger. (And I'm still on very good terms with the lovely TRN, which was my home for 7 productive and worthwhile years.)
Anyway, I decided to go to law school in the lovely town of New Orleans. Yep, THAT New Orleans. The one with hurricane Gustav on a beeline for. Right now, Gus-Gus is slated to hit landfall sometime Monday/Tuesday.
Tulane Law School (where I attend) has cancelled classes already for Friday afternoon and won't resume until next Thursday, assuming that Gustav is somewhat nice to the my new hometown. But if this turns into another you know who (Katrina), then who knows what my life will be like in a few days.
For the meantime, I'm staying put. The rational, future lawyer in me sees the benefit in packing up my important belongings and cherished family photos and heading to higher -- and more importantly, inland -- ground this weekend.
But the journalist in me . . . Well, i've never been through a hurricane before.
I'll keep you posted.

Take care of yourself my old podmate.
Take it from a Hurricane pro, you ain't missing much.
Although, now that I write news and whatnot, it would be sort of cool to be in the middle of such a thing and see it through adult eyes.
Keep us posted.
