The Lone Star State

As I was leaving New Orleans yesterday I was struck by the amount of new construction and refurbishing happening in the outlying areas - this probably is in the areas most affected by Katrina. I also noticed that the cemeteries have the crypts above ground - again because of the city being below sea level. Fortified by Cafe du Monde iced coffee and a muffaletta sandwich I headed across Louisiana, through bayou country, into Houston.

I am staying with fellow SACAT and Dreamweaver Coach, Patty Walters in the Garden Oaks neighborhood of Houston. She happened to mention last night that Joel Osteen's church, Lakewood, is nearby and I plan to go this spectular church and service this weekend.

It is again hot and humid - even more so than New Orleans; I got up at 6 am this morning to beat the heat and take a 3 mile walk with
Patty and several of her friends. This afternoon I am interviewing Marla Regan, author of "Shedding News". She is an expert on time management and organization; maybe she can repack my car!

Tomorrow night is country western dancing and barbecue - the best of Texas!
