Bourbon Street is the core of New Orleans' nightlife. It is a street that runs the length of the historic French Quarter, and is lined with bars, nightclubs, and souvenir shops.

The Café Du Monde has been serving coffee and Beignet since 1862 to discerning locals and tourists. There are now 8 locations; but I have been to the one in Jackson Square and the one in the French Market (the original one).

Lombard Street
We walked from our accommodation on Sutter Street, near the city Centre, to Lombard Street, which is called "The Crookedest Street in the World". Wow, those hills sure can be steep!

After a long walk from Union Square to the wharf, we were looking for SOMETHING to eat. How can you miss the giant Boudin building right in the center of the action? For breakfast, we ended up in their Bakers Hall, which houses a cafeteria style line. They have a handful of sandwiches and scrambles, as well as a few standbys such as french toast. I...more
John Hancock Center
The voice in the lift up the 314 meters to the Hancock Center's observation deck boasted that the skyscraper was the "most recognizable building in the world".

This is just the kind of funky local place Boyd and I love to find! The outside seating area is covered by sails to protect from sun and rain, and there is a small stage for music. We went for breakfast, and it was great - chickens running between the tables (chickens seem to roam free all over KW). Loved the gift shop - t-shirts and postcards, but...more

Universal Studios
I love universal studios I have a year pass, but I wish they would do a couple things diffenet like the Harry potter , not have so many people in that park at one time. You can't enjoy it.

CN Tower
Visited the tower after being told of the incredible view, found that the view was limited to half the glassed area due to a restaurant occupying the other half of the floor.

I visited Canada included in a french group (a decision to practice my fading french), and they looked surprised when I said, in Quebec, that I was feeling like being in France.

Space Needle
One of the first places we wanted to see in Seattle was the "Space Needle", of course. When I think of Seattle, the Space Needle immediately comes to mind and as it has been the symbol of Seattle since opening for the 1962 World's Fair. Riding the elevator up to the top might just make you a little weak in the knees if heights bother you. But it...more

I keep hearing about this place, but I've never managed to actually make it out there. Anyone seen this video and can vouch for it?
Where are you located? Twenty Tap in Indianapolis often has one or two of their beers on tap. It's pretty good. Nothing to swoon over IMO, but good none the less.
I'm a bit north of that. May have to check it out next time I'm down in the city.

Yep, she's go plenty of troubles. But she's also got a boatload of talent. Amy swept through the Grammys, with five wins, but – even better – her idiosyncratic performance suggested that she's just an odd enough and powerful enough singer to make a real dent on pop. She even gussied up that crazed tooth for the big night. Find her two-song set from London above. Over here you can get more Grammy news.

Grammys Gossip: Who's In, Who's Out, And What They'll Wear
* Amy Winehouse has been a denied a visa and will not be attending this Sunday's Grammy Awards. The singer, who recently entered rehab and was planning on attending the ceremony, will perform via satellite. ?I?m really sorry I can?t be there but I appreciate that I?m being given a second chance via satellite,? Amy told UsWeekly.
* Hayley Williams and her band Paramore are headed to the Grammys, but don't think they'll forsake their punk roots and go glam for the event: "We?ve never worked with a stylist before, so this is a different world from what we?re used to. We don?t want to abandon our background — like I come out there wearing a gown. We?re going to have fun with it." Williams thinks the band, up for the Best New Artist Grammy, has a shot at winning. "It?s possible we could win — we made it this far."
* Kanye West, up for eight nominations at Sunday night's award show, is planning an emotional tribute to his mother, who died this past November due to complications from plastic surgery. Ye will perform "Stronger" and "Hey Mama."
* After paying tribute to '80s smashes by New Order and Michael Jackson on his year's multi-single-spawning release Good Girl Gone Bad, Rihanna will perform with The Time, who you might remember as Prince's musical competition in Purple Rain. The band, formerly led by Morris Day, will be reuniting for the occasion. Let's hope they do "Umbrella," (originally written for a certain out-of-control pop star).
Be back here on Sunday night at 8 p.m., where we'll be dishing on all the performances.
Grammy Predictions: Who Will Win What?
Each year the act of predicting which artists will take home a Grammy becomes one of pop music's great guessing games. Someone picks a category, and everyone becomes a pundit. That includes us. We want your comments, too. Do you think our choices are right? Watch the show with us this Sunday night, and join our LIVE BLOG commentary right here at 8 pm.
Beyonce: ?Irreplaceable?
This screed about how the value of self-important men begins with a set of instructions: ?To the left, to the left/ Everything you own in a box to the left.? Wonder how Jay-Z took that line?
Foo Fighters: ?The Pretender?
Moderate rock, Dave Grohl-style: loud, passionate, dynamic, classic, and prog. Don?t forget the mildly rousing refrain of ?Who are you?? But, sorry, it?s still boring.
Rihanna: ?Umbrella?
Barbados? answer to Madonna returned with a Jerry Bruckheimer-sized blockbuster of a disc, and this song, which stuck in our heads for the entire summer, was the centerpiece.
Justin Timberlake: ?What Goes Around . . . Comes Around?
When coupled with Timbaland?s production, Justin?s soft-pop R&B added up to a great big rock opera.
Amy Winehouse: ?Rehab?
They tried to make her go to rehab; she said no, no, no. Then she said yes, got some help in London, was denied a U.S. entry visa, and can?t perform at the Grammys. Too bad, since the song so thoroughly sums up the problems of 2007.
SHOULD WIN: ?Rehab?
WILL WIN: ?Umbrella?
Common: Finding Forever
Half hard, half hippie. Working the poetic tip, he keeps his political and philosophical ideas up front. Kanye's production, even when it?s florid, does a great job of selling ?em.
Nas: Hip-Hop Is Dead
Big indictment from the Queens MC, but Nas is nothing if not a provocateur. Though it?s not a home run, it?s gripping. And that flow of his can still make your jaw drop.
Jay-Z: Kingdom Come
Jigga bounced back, and there were lots of sharp moments, but it also felt like the true glory days of this mic fiend are gone. The American Gangster soundtrack is way stronger.
TI: T.I. vs T.I.P.
Yep, Mr. Split Personality may have been at war with himself, but that tension provided for revealing glimpse into the king of Dirty South?s psyche.
Kanye West: Graduation
Haughty is as haughty does. Hip-hop?s most reliable MC hasn?t given up on positioning himself as hip-hop?s most successful MC. But his bluster has oodles of creativity behind it, no question.
SHOULD WIN: Graduation
WILL WIN: Graduation
"Best New Artist" category after the jump.

Britney's ex tries to get as far away from her as possible by going somewhere he knows she'll never be – a place of high fashion and taste.? [Us]
Winehouse Does Rehab and Grammys
Is she or isn't she? Today, Amy Winehouse's rep confirmed to UsWeekly that Winehouse, despite reports she's entered rehab, will be performing at this Sunday's Grammy awards. The singer, nominated in a whopping six categories — including record of the year, album of the year and song of the year — checked into a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility on January 24th, following the release of shocking footage showing an obviously high Winehouse smoking crack.
To find out more about Winehouse's sadly ironic song "Rehab," check out our in-depth analysis on a hit that was created from an off-hand comment and a couple of hours. We've also got plenty of interesting info on Winehouse and her competition.
Amy Winehouse Loves Her Crack Pipe
Here's a new Amy Winehouse home video to brighten your day. In it, the singer continues her Self Destruction 2008 Tour by smoking from a crack pipe and talking about how she just took six Valium. The whole thing is recorded by a friend who then sold the video to the British tabloid The Sun, which should be a lesson to all you famous crackheads out there. If a pal is taping you inhaling/snorting/injecting/smoking/eating drugs, tell them to shut that sh*t off! Learn something from Amy Winehouse – something other than just drugs being bad, obvs. [The Sun]
Thursday: Paula Prepares to Suck at Super Bowl
Paula?s Superbowl Show a "Massive Disaster"
Insiders are saying Paula's half time show is gonna straight up suck. But America will watch because she's forever our girl. Rush, rush to your TV! [TMZ]
Amy?s Hubby Ready To Divorce
Her man threatened divorce after a major fight. Has Blake finally gotten off the drugs and wised up in jail? [DListed]
Ashley Olsen Sucks Jared Leto?s Face
Well-dressed troll + rocker a-hole = love. Awwww. [Us]
Oops! Someone Pissed off the Scientologists
Tom Cruise's church is laying on the legal BS after Gawker posted this video of Tommy ranting, claiming copyright infringement. [Gawker]
K-Fed?s Lawyer Talks Up his Client
Kevin's suit is claiming that Brit's Ex wants to raise their kids together. Don't lie, Kev. We'd be stoked about sole custody too. [People]
Thursday: Ne-Yo You Didn't
Lindsay Lohan Needs Your Money
LiLo is unemployed and desperate for cash – care to spare a nickel…or some botox? [NYDN]
Ne-Yo Sues Former Pal R. Kelly
The rising star is suing the creepy crooner after getting booted from his tour, and claims he was kicked off because the fans were liking him better. [NYDN]
Amy Winehouse: Renewing Vows in Slammer
Wino's also apparently penning a new song for her jailed hubby, too. Crackheads are so romantic, eh? [NME]
Janet?s Sexy Songs Make Babies
Miss Jackson loves it when people tell her about all the babies they conceive to her tunes – except when it's her bro Michael talking. [People]
No Ring for Kim Kardashian
Kim K. is NOT engaged to Reggie Bush, ya'll – they're just making sex tapes. But they're totes in love. [EOnline]
2007′s Craziest: Amy Winehouse Wigs Out
Watching Amy Winehouse go from top of the charts to coked-up and bloodied was one of the saddest downward spirals of the year (Paris Hilton's demise, however, is another story). But it's the end of the year, and we've run out of ways to turn her song "Rehab" into a witty pun that accentuates her actual need to get her ass locked up and detoxing, stat. In truth, the year of Winehouse has just made us feel kind of hopeless and sad. It's no fun watching someone whose talent leaves you awestruck abandon their gifts for a full-blown drug addiction; it's even worse when they're doing it covered in blood. Let's hope Amy's New Year's resolution involves less snorting and more self-care, and maybe a little bit of singing too.

Career Development and Labour Markets in
Australia's Changing Economic Landscape.
The 25th Annual National Conference of the Career Development Association of Australia (CDAA), to be held from the 8th – 10th April, 2015 in Perth, Western Australia, is set amongst one of the most significant periods of economic and policy change ever experienced by the Career Development profession. The question of how each career practitioner, education and training provider, industry leader, human resources professional, researcher and the aggregated profession responds to this change will be major determinants to career development for a number of generations to come.
Click here to see the newsletter as a PDF file, or click on News --> February 2015 Newsletter on the menu on the left.
Dr Roberta Neault presented an interesting APCDA webinar on "10 Key Concepts Foundational to Our Work". It was both refreshing and enriching! Dr. Neault encapsulated the main themes in classic career development theories by Super, Holland, etc, and wove them with current thinking/theories in career development, to provide a meaningful foundation for practicing career professionals. The importance of "employee engagement" and being "hope-centered" and "career responsive" was also discussed. The webinar further reminded the participants of culture and its complexity and how our respective cultures and environments need to be considered as we incorporate Dr. Neault's concepts into practice.
I personally look forward to more webinars by APCDA!

Re: Watchmen Trailer Online
I believe it is ~ $75, so it cost a lot more but you feel the quality. You also get the scripts and proposal which Alan Moore pitched to DC. Personally I love comics so it was worth it for me. Also you can examine in greater detail Gibbons put in those panels.
Yeah I'm not feeling Ozy's actor for the reason of his actions. I don't think he got it or even read the comic.
I wonder how Zach will decide to fit symmetry into the comic.

Re: Watchmen Trailer Online
I agree that the trailer looks like a window opened to the book and find it very impressive, and I can't wait to go and watch that movie.
I noticed people didn't like the video clip format but it gives a specific atmosphere to the trailer and I enjoyed that a lot.

Re: Watchmen Trailer Online
I'm not wild about the idea that everyone is making up their own backstory. The original source is dense enough. But, on the other hand, this detail sounds like it will be buried - I can't imagine he's going to make a speech about his dead Nazi parents - and it's in the spirit of the graphic novel to have a dense, barely felt history to everything. If it helps the actor... why not?
Maturity is a bitter disappointment for which no remedy exists, unless laughter could be said to remedy anything.

Re: Watchmen Trailer Online
However, in the case of Watchmen, the source material provides more than enough to understand each of the characters and their motivations. Everything else about this movie I am excited for but the actor playing Veidt is the least thing I am looking forward. From the pre-press and the few glimpses of the character, I get a not so fresh feeling about him.

Re: Watchmen Trailer Online
For example, if you wanted to play Adrian as gay, that's perfectly acceptable. Not only does Rorschach suspect this early on, but his idol was Alexander the Great (who is at the very least bisexual), and this also explains his impeccable body and fashion sense.
However, making him a goddamn Nazi is insane. Although it's fine that his immigrant parents were Nazi supporters (and lets face it, much of America was okay with what Hitler was doing before we entered the war,) he himself cannot be a Nazi. Why?
Because that makes him just another goddamned Nazi trying to take over the world, which makes any of the actual material from the comic worthless. His emulation of Alexander and other Greek and Egyptian rulers becomes nothing more than a Nazi with a fetish for ankhs and togas.
Now, I'll admit, it's possible for him to be curious about the "leader" phenomenon because of what Hiter managed to accomplish, and this curiosity leads him to discover Alexander, someone who managed to build a world-class empire without resorting to wholesale manslaughter and genocide.
But that's not what Matthew Goode was saying.

Re: Watchmen Trailer Online
(reference to the Trek11 costumes, for anyone who's missed that debacle)
I'm sure that there are a couple of you out there who don't "get" what the big deal is... so here's what the Dave Gibbons' version of the Ozymandias costume looks like.
It plays to his self-perception as a "demi-God." It plays to his involvement in secret society type behavior (note the eye in the pyramid, which is LOST in the new costume, though replaced with an "eye of Ra" symbol on his belt... not the same thing!) It also plays to his... um... ambiguous sexuality?
The new costume looks like "Wanna be 'Batman and Robin' villain on heroin." I don't like the new one.
Laurie's "Silk Spectre (II)" costume is also dramatically altered, but at least it keeps the "feel" of the original.. it simply makes it more practical. It keeps the "sexy" feel. But it's lost the "soft and sexy" aspect and replaced it with "dominatrix sexy" which, while perhaps more believable, no longer reflects the character's personality as well. (Laurie is the consummate "co-dependent" type... always doing what someone else wants... pretty far from the "girl with whips" attitude that she seems to be showing based upon her new costume!)
Dan Dreiberg's "Night Owl (II)" costume also totally loses EVERYTHING having to do with this character. Yes, it looks "cooler" but that's kind of the point... Dan Dreiberg is NOT "Cool" at the time we see him... he's an aging, washed-up "superhero" who's grown soft, both mentally and physically. The new costume TOTALLY LOSES THAT.
On the other hand, virtually every other character looks EXACTLY like they're supposed to. Eddie Blakes' "Comedian" costume is picture-perfect. Rorschach is perfect. Jon's "Dr. Manhattan" is perfect.
All the "historical era characters" are perfect.
I can understand the reasoning behind changing Laurie's costume, though I wish they'd at least given her a "Silk coverlet" over the whole thing to soften it up a bit.
But the changes to the Night Owl (II) and Ozymandias costumes totally miss the points behind those characters.

Re: Watchmen Trailer Online
I'm not too crazy about Nite Owl's and Ozymandias's costumes...but if everything else in the film is good, I'll give them a pass. It does generally look like this director is really trying, but he probably has to lose some battles. There are just too many hands in the pot of a major motion picture.
Archie is also perfect! I wonder if Ozy will have the cat?

Re: Watchmen Trailer Online
Check out the posters here...
EDIT: Okay, I pulled out my posters just for comparison. Realize that these were printed in 1988... the same year I got out of college and went off to do my military service. SO... these are 20 years old now, basically.
First, let's do The Comedian:
Now, in the original, he's wearing what's essentially a "gimp mask" to cover a massive facial scar (which would otherwise make him TOO recognizable). If you look closely at the original, it's clear he's performing a political assassination in a Latin American country.
Next, Doctor Manhattan:
Pretty damned close!
Next, Night Owl (II):
Except for the obvious costume-related issues we've already discussed, pretty close.
Next, Ozymandias:
Same comment... note that even the TV images are pretty close! Only the costume is "wrong." Also... note the clear presence of Bubastis (his genetically-altered pet Lynx).
Now, Rorschach:
Pretty much EXACT. It's a little harder to read the "The End is Nigh" sign, though...
And finally, Silk Spectre (II):
Note that even the reflections are "right." The ONLY issue is the costume...
(The new one... the Sally Jupiter one... wasn't in the original set, so I'm not doing a comparison here.)
Since I doubt many of you have ever had a chance to see those original 1988 posters, I thought that it might be interesting to see the "new" and the "original" side by side.
Note that my scanner wouldn't handle all of the frame for the old posters... so the bottom edge is cut off. Basically, it says "A 12 issue deluxe series by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons."

She's enjoying the single life after splitting up with Casper Smart, and Jennifer Lopez spent the weekend making her ex-boyfriend jealous with some sexy social media snaps.
The 44-year-old former Fly Girl hung out by the pool on Sunday (June 15) on her 'day of rest' and put her fine figure on full display in a skimpy bikini.
With a highly-anticipated new album on the way and a triumphant performance at the 2014 World Cup opening ceremony, Jennifer Lopez is taking her career to the next level.
Soccer fever has taken over most of the globe as the 2014 World Cup has kicked off in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and Jennifer Lopez and Pitbull were in the house to get things started on Thursday (June 12).
Joined by Brazilian pop singer Claudia Leitte, the "Waiting for Tonight" songstress and the "Timber" rapper performed the official FIFA song "We Are One (Ole Ola)" while fans looked on.
It's going to be a bit of a wait to see the forthcoming animated feature "Home," and in the meantime DreamWorks has unveiled a tantalizing teaser trailer.
Earlier this week FIFA told press that Jennifer Lopez had pulled out of her performance at the 2014 World Cup kickoff in Brazil, but the "Waiting for Tonight" songstress insists that's not the case.
Lopez issued a statement to confirm she will indeed join Pitbull and Claudia Leitte at the opening ceremony and that she was boarding a flight to Brazil on Tuesday evening (June 10).
She's never been afraid to show off her toned physique, and Jennifer Lopez showed up at "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" to dance around in tight pants last night (June 9).
The "Waiting for Tonight" songstress donned a pair of snug white trousers with a cropped green long-sleeve sweater, white shoes and a silly wig as she joined Fallon for the sketch.
While the kickoff of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil is going to be a party of global proportions, Jennifer Lopez won't actually be able to perform her official song "We Are One."
According to J. Lo's rep, "production issues" will prevent her from joining Pitbull for Thursday's shindig and she'll be replaced by Brazilian singer Claudia Leitte.
Taking a stand against the cheating allegations, Casper Smart denied the recent rumors regarding his failed relationship with Jennifer Lopez.
A transgender model named Xristina Marie claimed that Smart cheated on the "American Idol" judge, dishing alleged details to "The Sun."

I discovered a whole bunch of "pending" comments from bygone posts the other day. I don't know why they weren't brought to my attention via email as they usually are, but somehow they fell through the cracks. A few were from a really long time ago and my heart just sank at the thought of my never having replied.
I try to reply to every reader who leaves a comment – even if it's just to say thank you. Writing is a solitary business, and it's no exaggeration to say that I feel a tremendous sense of intimacy with the people who read this blog – especially those who comment regularly. Given that I tend write about pretty big topics – love, faith, death, etc., there is an implied trust that's very special to me.
But it's about so much more than simply saying thanks for reading. The comments I tend to get can be terribly intimate in nature, and sound much more like secrets from a close friend, a confidant. Some of my reader's stories have made me gasp, my heart skip a beat.
I've had a mother write to me about the child she lost in childbirth – the utter devastation of that event made bearable by crazy moments of levity. Like when her family broke into her hospital room at 3:00 am and an impromptu party ensued. Yes, even after the death of an infant. Sometimes our best times are during our worst, and I like to celebrate that on COLD.
Readers tell me about the haunted house they live in, and the way the spirits whisper for them not to be afraid. It is such a privilege to be privy to a virtual stranger's greatest fears, heartbreaks, most gushing stories of romance, confused tears, anger, yearning, loneliness. Private, beautiful stories that honor the special relationship between a writer and her readers. That transcend the page. It is the most fulfilling part of doing what I do, and it means a lot to me that so many of you are willing to share with me parts of your own journeys.
Taking to heart that writing is less about the stories we tell than it is about how we make people feel when they're reading them, I do my best to make Cold a place where I think before I speak, which my friends will tell you is not always my inclination.
I guess that's the nature of the beast.
Most of us writers strive to be better on paper than we actually are, often in hopes of becoming more of that person who lurks within us, and is a very large part of us, but lives in sweet perfection only on the page. Writers are like preachers that way.
And this wife, mother, writer, friend, and preacher of magic, I hope, is enormously grateful to any and all of you who stop by here. The gift of your time is nearly as great as the gift of your confidence.
And since I'm saying thanks, I owe huge debt of it to WordPress and WordPress editor Cheri Lucas Rowlands for selecting Cold as a recommended blog in the "Writing and Blogging" category as well. Out of the fifty million blogs you host, it's a huge honor to be one of the few you single out. Especially since Cold is in such great company with blogs like Writing Through the Fog, Strong Language, Chicago Literati, Kristin Lamb's Blog, Drinkers with Writing Problems and a couple of dozen more great blogs that I urge readers to check out here: https://wordpress.com/recommendations/
WordPress offers a wonderful tapestry of meaning, humor, sincerity, beauty, irony and imagination. I'm happy I made it my home.
Happy Easter to those of you who celebrate and just happiness to those of you who don't. Until next time…
My husband was driving our seven year-old home from school this past week and she rolled down her window, sticking her head out like a dog. Spring has come late this year and it was a glorious day. She was giggling and putting her hands up, lost in abandon.
"I love the wind," she exclaimed. "It blows you away to a wonderland city."
Sometimes her innate sense of poetry just makes me ache.
This is a child who slithers around the house in a mermaid tail. Talks to herself in a variety of characters and voices. She must be pried out of her fantasy world for dinner, to make the bus, to get dressed, brush her teeth or pay attention in school.
I can't blame her. When I was a student my own fantasy world was far richer and more absorbing than learning long division and my math grades reflected that. Sadly, so do hers.
Our ten year-old is no less dreamy, even if a hot competitive streak does tend to keep her more engaged in school and extracurriculars. She writes stories and songs, loves drama class, paints portraits, makes "art" movies that include long pauses, sparse dialogue and heavy doses of ennui, and has great comedic timing, which she puts on full display at her elementary school talent show every year. Unlike her younger sister, she is nearly a straight A student.
I say nearly.
Now let me share with you a conversation I had with her a few weeks ago:
Me: "We need to look up what course levels you were placed in for Middle School."
Her: "Why? It doesn't matter."
Me: "What do you mean?"
Her: "I'm not smart."
Me: "What?"
Her: "I'm in the average math group and I get mostly Bs on my math tests."
Me: "OK, so math is not your strong suit, but it wasn't mine either. Or you dad's. Doesn't make us idiots. I mean, I dunno, I think we've done ok."
Her: "Yeah, but you're writers. Nobody cares about writing anymore, mom. Or anything else. It's only math. If you're not great at math or into science, you're dumb. That's the way it is now."
I guess we could have run out and gotten her a math tutor, pumping up her grade to an A and possibly qualifying her for the "Honors" math she would need to ace in order to get into the more competitive schools later on. STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) is where it's at as far as our current educational industrial complex is concerned.
But we didn't do that.
It's not because we didn't want to invest the money or the time in order to give our daughter every possible advantage. Our monthly output for enrichment activities alone is like a mortgage payment. When push came to shove, our decision not to press our rising middle schooler harder was actually quite practical.
Math is simply not her strength.
If she was getting a poor grade, then certainly we would do something about it – but a B+?
Already, she's gotten the impression that any career outside of STEM is risky, unwise and unneeded. My husband and I have kibitzed ad nauseum with each other and fellow parents about our children being under far more academic pressure than we ever were – and at a much earlier age. So, finally, we decided to put actions behind our objections and resist reinforcing the pressure at home.
Don't get me wrong, going against this massive tide is exhausting and feels self-defeating at times – and we're just at the beginning stages. The compulsion to help our kids achieve, achieve and achieve is great. We've gone back and forth about how to approach our children's respective educations and by no means do we claim to have the right answers.
In our case, we just felt that if we sang along with the STEM chorus, my husband and I might be playing a role in pushing our daughter into a career where she might do fine but never truly shine or feel the level of satisfaction that we feel everyday when we sit down at our desks. A belief that we're doing what we're best at, what we are meant to do, has nurtured a zeal for our work that has helped us remain faithful during economic downturns. It has enabled us to shake off disappointments and defeats that might have prompted others to throw in the towel.
As we looked soberly at our daughter, it occurred to us that her energy might be better spent on becoming great at the subjects she excels at and loves rather than merely good at the courses that feel like a dentist appointment to her.
Don't get me wrong, we don't have a damn thing against STEM. Our son, our eldest, fits like a glove into this STEM oriented system. This is a kid who orders owl pellets off Amazon at his own expense and dissects them for fun, plucking out the animal bones and reconstructing a full skeleton of the varmint the owl had for supper.
More power to him!
And we're well aware that historically, girls have gotten the short end of the stick when it comes to STEM.
But a lot of that has changed dramatically over the past generation. Several of our daughter's close girlfriends are tracking into STEM, so I doubt she's lagging in the subject because of gender bias at school.
Math just doesn't appear to be where either of our girls' heads are at, or their passions for that matter. And we would no sooner push them to marry a man they don't love because he seems like a "good provider," than we would try to force them into disciplines or careers that feel closer to tasks than callings.
Life is too short and professions require too many hours for that.
And if our girls' interests change – fantastic! We'll switch up their summer schedules to include Calculus Camp in place of the art camp they beg us to enroll them in year after year. We'll break out the dusty chemistry sets they got from my dad for Christmas a couple of years ago and let them blow up the kitchen. We'll even rip down their posters of the Eiffel Tower and Ariana Grande and replace them with ones of MIT and Stephen Hawking.
Until then, we're ok if they prefer wearing mermaid tails in wonderland city to white coats in laboratories. HG Wells, after all, inspired generations of scientists and inventors with just a pen and an imagination.
And maybe math wasn't his strong suit either.
I'm so excited because this week my first novel, The Bone Church, will be featured at the Virginia Festival of the Book. I'll get to schmooze with readers and fellow thriller authors, go to receptions and fancy brunches, and do all the things that I don't often do because I'm usually at home using all manner of Voodoo to conjure ideas for my stories. Or I'm wiping noses, cooking dinners and chaperoning field trips.
Not complaining here. It's a great life.
But I'm especially over the moon because I get to be part of a panel discussing Murder in Another Time and Place. For a girl like me, murder (especially murder in a foreign locale) is like the Beatles. It's like Fifty Shades of Grey. It's, it's…well, you get the picture. I get all beside myself.
I love cold-blooded killings, crimes of passion, politically motivated assassinations, ritualized serial murders – even an accidental death will do if it's done right. And I love the world of fog and shadows, foreign cigarettes, trench coats and hidden agendas. I'm a sucker for a man with a thick and creepy Eastern European accent and rumpled clothes. I live for long train rides where the first class compartments smell of cognac, fine tobacco and a hint of sex. Bad women are a particular favorite.
And my fellow panelists include some of my favorite thriller writers: Diane Fanning ("Scandal in the Secret City"), Joe Kanon ("Leaving Berlin") and Sarah Kennedy ("City of Ladies"). I'm honored. They're award winners and historical experts and probably really fun people to boot. People who write entire books on all manner of psycho murderers in all kinds of times and places tend be a good time, believe it or not.
So, if you plan to attend the Virginia Festival of the Book, or you're within shouting distance and are saying to yourself, "Hey, I love my books bloody," then please come by the Omni Hotel in Charlottesville on Saturday, March 21st at 4:00 pm. You'll get to hear great stories and ask questions and meet interesting folks who share your love of death, history and arm-chair travel. And there are some terrific bars and restaurants in downtown Charlottesville, so you can step out of one good time and go right into another.
And if you do drop by, don't forget to introduce yourself. I love to meet Cold readers. Truly, I wish I could have coffee with every single one of you.

And just to beat a dead dame, here's my Facebook invite, too: https://www.facebook.com/events/632393510225153/
My youngest daughter was perched at my husband's computer the other day, while I sat opposite her in an armchair sorting through bills.
She was watching an early video of Michael Jackson's – "Blame It on the Boogie" – and I couldn't help but notice her face. Her eyes were wide and focused, her lips in an open-mouthed smile.
She was beaming.
Her delight was contagious, so I decided to live a little. I dumped my mail into a pile at my feet and went to sit beside her. We watched "Blame It on the Boogie" three times, then "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" and "Rock With You." Over and over. I showed her "Beat It" and "Thriller," then "Billie Jean," but it was when we moved past the "Thriller" album – onto "HIStory," "Bad" and "Dangerous" – that her interest waned. Not entirely, but it was clear her attention had gone from rapturous to merely entertained. She'd lost that look of unbridled joy that had drawn me to her side in the first place.
And I'd lost it, too, even if I was still a little hungry for the shot of bliss Jackson's early videos had given me. It was the pop culture equivalent of a hangover – the kind of bluesy, reflective state that washes over you after watching Judy Garland in the "Wizard of Oz" and thinking, What the hell happened?
In "Boogie" there was a sense of wonder. Jackson moved with an easy grace and basked in his performance. There was a give and take with the audience that flowed like a perfect kiss. All sweet and tender but on fire at the same time.
His dancing was raw, almost childlike. And although he was on stage with his talented brothers, he was the only one you wanted to watch. As I sat writing this post, I had to call it back up on my screen, then get up and dance. I couldn't help myself.
Fast forward to "Bad," which was good, but forced, over-choreographed and detached. Jackson had wind machines blowing at him and sported a quasi-military outfit that jingled like a charm bracelet. His face, so handsome, had already begun its transformation – looking chiseled and waxy.
Everything about him seemed to say "go away."
My daughter's interest was piqued again when I showed her pictures of Jackson's metamorphosis. Yet I found myself at a loss when it came to explaining to her why it happened. To talk about childhood trauma, or the trappings of fame, or the loneliness that some very talented people feel seemed trite. I didn't know Michael Jackson, after all, and it felt silly to try and psychoanalyze him.
But as usual, she bested me.
"Frankenstein," she said. She was looking at a picture of Jackson at his worst – towards the end of his life.
Frankenstein is a big theme for her. She loves the original 1933 black and white film as much as the 1974 Mel Brooks parody.
I've always thought it's because she, herself, has so many scars – from the many surgeries she had to endure at birth, to the fact that no one could hold her until she was several weeks old and could actually tolerate the pain of being moved and cuddled. Whatever the case, she feels a kinship with Mary Shelley's dark protagonist, and was able to make the connection between the fictional character and the very real Michael Jackson.
And as I looked at the pictures of Jackson that spanned from his youth in the Jackson 5 to his beyond the stratosphere fame, I felt the urge to hunt down a quote from Mary Shelley's classic horror novel – one that I could only remember in vague terms, but I knew it would fit.
"I was dependent on none and related to none. The path of my departure was free, and there was none to lament my annihilation. My person was hideous and my stature gigantic. What did this mean? Who was I? What was I? Whence did I come? What was my destination? These questions continually recurred, but I was unable to solve them." – the Monster.
I want to welcome back two of my favorite broads in the author community – Hunter S. Jones and Jennifer Theriot. Actually, Jennifer's never been on Cold, so howdy, Jennifer and welcome! Pour yourself a beer or a whiskey and get comfortable. We're pretty casual here.
Now, if you read this blog, you know I don't spotlight authors very much. Not because I don't love authors – I do. It's mostly because I'm usually so busy musing about depressing Eastern European capitals, crazy Slavs and questionable habits like smoking, drinking and writing about smoking and drinking, that I don't get around to it.
But I'm getting around to it today, because I love these two ladies. They satisfy all three of the criteria I require to feature them on my weird, little blog.
1. They're fun
2. They're not jerks
3. They write quirky, original stories
What more could you ask for?
Well, actually, there is one more thing…They've got a new book out! It's called "Fortune Brawling," and it's book two of The Fortune Series, which chronicles the adventures of Dallas Fortune, a lady musician who's trying to make her way in the honky-tonk eat honky-tonk world of Nashville.
When we last left Dallas Fortune, she'd been put through the ringer – having almost become a star, having almost had a happily ever after with a man she'd loved for twenty years. But an accident sent her into a tailspin, and led her to seek out a handsome fortune-teller. "Fortune Calling," was a fun novella that whet our appetites for the ups and downs in the life of a good-hearted, good-timing and often self-destructive country music aspirant.
When we next encounter Dallas in "Fortune Brawling," we get two guitars, two wild women, and one crazy honky tonking night in Georgia. The Ace is high and the Joker is always wild.
When Texas meets Tennessee the end result spells T.R.O.U.B.L.E.
And country musician Dallas Fortune in a tight spot. Guitar God, Billie Joe McAllister, has betrayed her once again. As if by magic, her BFF from Ft. Worth Texas, guitarist Jodie Marie Jennings, drives all night to come to her aid in a time of need. What happens at Bud's honky tonk in Trenton, Georgia should stay at Bud's, but it doesn't. What went wrong? Who gets in trouble and who gets revenge? Who are JD Fowler and Tom Vanderfleet? What does the best fairy godmother in Country Music history do to save the day this time around? These questions and more secrets are revealed in this adventurous, light hearted and fun contemporary novelette.
Guitars. Hillbilly Music. Nashville, Tennessee.
It's a quick read and a helluva time. Don't miss it.

I've got some words from the late, great Katharine Hepburn that are just going to set your heart on fire.
In this missive taken from her autobiography, "Me," she's actually talking about that cowboy of all cowboys, John Wayne. Not the love of her life, Spencer Tracy.
But damn, when you read this you might just have to take a cold shower and run out and rent about five John Wayne movies. Even if you're a straight guy.
And I say this as someone who is not particularly a fan of The Duke, as he was called..
Her thoughts on Wayne:
"He is so tall a tree that the sun must shine on him whatever the tangle in the jungle below. From head to toe, he is all of a piece. Big head. Wide blue eyes. Sandy hair. Rugged skin – lined by living and fun and character. Not by just rotting away. A face alive with humor. Good humor, I should say. And a sharp wit.
Dangerous when roused.
His shoulders are broad – very. His chest massive – very. When I leaned against him – thrilling. It was like leaning against a tree. His hands so big. Mine, which are, too, seemed to disappear. Good legs. No seat. A real man's body.
And the base of this incredible creation. A pair of small sensitive feet. Carrying his huge frame as if it were a feather. Light of tread, springy, dancing.
Very observing. Very aware. Listens. Concentrates. Witty slant. Ready to laugh. To be laughed at. To answer. To stick his neck out. Funny. Outrageous. Spoiled. Self-indulgent. Tough. Full of charm. Knows it. Uses it. Disregards it.
Not much gets past him.
He was always on time. Always knew the scene. Always full of notions about what should be done. Tough on a director who had not done his homework. Considerate to his fellow actors. Very impatient with anyone who was inefficient.
Self-made. Hard-working. Independent. Of the style of man who blazed the trails across our country. People who were willing to live or die entirely on their own judgement. They dish it out. They take it. Life had dealt Wayne some severe blows. He can take them.
He dares to walk by himself. Run. Dance. Skip. Crawl through life. And at the core, he's a simple and decent man. With an ability to think and feel."
That description simply takes my breath away every time I read it.
It meant a great deal to me when I was looking for love, making me feel at once hopeful and silly and faithless and terrified. Not because I wanted an uber-mensch just like John Wayne, per se, but because Katharine Hepburn's description dares to ask a great deal of a man. Demands it, in fact. And requires even more of the kind of woman who might deserve his attention and devotion.
Love can be daunting. It can feel like it hits you too hard sometimes and leaves you exposed to the most wretched of heartbreaks. A guy might seem one way at first – a veritable Prince Charming frothing-over with all the things you think you want to hear – but in the end he's a big fraud. Or simply fickle. Maybe you didn't live up to his expectations.
A girl might be shimmering with sexual allure but carry none of the attributes necessary for a friend. Or perhaps the woman who makes you feel as if you're going to burst into flames, who seems to understand your every thought before you give it voice, sees you as merely a buddy or confidant. That one stings like a nest of hornets.
There are so many varieties of love affair – each one a high-risk venture. They do call it falling in love for a reason.
Sometimes, it's just a matter of timing.
Like when I met this man years ago, long before I got married. I had just started a business and endured a painful breakup with someone who was almost right.
This guy was funny and confident and handsome and made the kinds of bold, romantic gestures that seemed dangerous. Way beyond the candy and flowers routine, he set about wooing me with a barrage of anonymous postcards – ones daring me to meet him in smoke-filled lounges with great jukeboxes. He swept me up for a champagne and fried chicken picnic on a windy hillside. And was a corporation man – not what I was used to – who ran a simple telephone conversation like a meeting.
But he could quote everything from a Langston Hughes poem to the U.S. Constitution accurately and credibly.
It was when I was returning home from visiting him in the city where he lived, that I picked up a magazine at the airport and – seated uncomfortably between a Chinese student and big Chicago Bears fan – read my horoscope.
This is something I never do. But sometimes these rare impulses provide some insight.
It was one of those horoscopes that thinks its really clever and insults you, and mine said something like, "You always think you have it all figured out and now you've finally met someone who doesn't swallow your B.S. and say it tastes like a cookie. And yeah, you might just have a shot at happiness. Question is…can you take it?"
Well, I decided right then that I could not, would not, and was not going to take it. Sometimes that voice tells you you're not ready. That there is, perhaps, a different sunrise out there waiting for you. One not so blinding. The kind that's bright and joyful, but is absent the violent bursts of color. And the potential for complete annihilation.
The following day, after my horrorscope (misspelling intentional), the guy with the postcards and the fried chicken called and asked me to come see him again.
I said, "Um, well, you know. I can't"
He was silent for a minute, then softly, he said, "Please."
Love is magic meets decision. I'm not sure if I read that somewhere or made it up.
It's refusing to settle and not being afraid to strike a bargain. Standing for something so that someone will stand by you. Never being a free lunch or accepting one. No matter how lavish the spread.
And love is a leap of faith – even when the timing couldn't be worse. It is, like John Wayne, being bold enough to run, skip, dance, crawl if you must. It is simple and decent. Thinking and feeling.
When you endeavor to fall in love, you must be willing to live and die entirely on your own judgement. Step out of the movie and go boldly into your life. And you must be ready to die a thousand times in order to chance living forever.
So, the answer is yes. I did go see him again.
And again. And again.
Happy Valentine's Day.

Group working to reestablish railroad service

WAYNESBORO — The Rail Authority of East Mississippi (RAEM) has worked diligently to lay the groundwork for re-establishing rail service in Southeast Mississippi. In addition to developing an implementation plan and pursuing grants to assist with funding the project, RAEM has just completed the initial phase of a market study.
It is the first step to determine the feasibility of constructing the proposed railroad, the East Mississippi Intermodal Rail Corridor.
Geoffrey Clark, RAEM's executive director, said, "We needed to understand the demand for service, the benefits continuous rail service can offer existing businesses and how the project may bring new industries to the area. We now have documented estimates of the potential rail volume and an understanding of the market."
According to the study, the forest products industry will be the primary user of the new railroad, driven by a growing demand for wood pellets and wood biomass to be used for energy production. Other freight would include construction materials, chemicals and agricultural products.
Gil Carmichael directed the Federal Rail Administration for President George H.W. Bush and is a member of RAEM's board of directors. According to Carmichael, restoring rail service to Southeast Mississippi is vital to the region's economy and is important to all of East Mississippi.
Carmichael said, "Our goal is to build the missing link that will enable non-stop rail service from Corinth to the Ports of Pascagoula and Mobile. The corridor will quickly become the economic spine of East Mississippi and a valuable source of new jobs and industry."
With the initial study completed, RAEM now plans to implement a more comprehensive economic analysis and determine a defined route for the railroad. An environmental assessment will be conducted before acquiring right-of-way and beginning construction.
