New Orleans. It does not take much to think about how that culture, music and food has crossed my path these last 20 years. If I try to read the signs and at least look for them..... quite a few markers are there.

Feeling this was unjust, I solicited some friends to participate in a “re-supply project”. Several small fellowships gathered sleeping bags, small tents, blankets and food for a couple weeks and then with four other friends and three cars we headed down to the city at around 10 pm one winter night to find the...

This Christmas season you may just want to put this on your list of pictures to see with the family.

Arthur Christmas trailer Chris: The best part of animation is when the story comes to life.
