The Family, December 25, 2004
Pop was a liquor salesman
when I grew up, as you can tell by our Old Charter
Bourbon Christmas train, 1977.
I was born at the new Hotel Dieu Hospital on Perdido St.
in New Orleans.
I've lived in the New Orleans area most of my life, except for two years of college in Fargo, North Dakota and seven months in the Atlanta area after Katrina.
Mandi and I had our Katrina-dealyed wedding on July 29th at St. Agnes.

Hobbies:
Camera collection, old typewriter collection,
record/CD/cassette/8-track collection.
I used to collect baseball cards (when they were still 50
cents a pack!) and license plates, and to some degree, automobiles!
Sports:
I am a die-hard
Minnesota Twins fan.
I also watch women's
tennis;
Coetzer,
Dokic,
Capriati and
Clijsters are my favorites.
I'll watch an old Arnold
Palmer game when I can, and, in women's golf, Annika
Sörenstam.
And I support The Teamsters
