The Motley Crew.

The best part of living in New Orleans- bar none- is the opportunity to work with some of the coolest kids in the city-wait, scratch that- I mean, the whole freakin' world. It's always an adventure, manuevering day to day through the handful of zany, boisterous and always unpredictable experiences that have come to define my teaching experience in NOLA. Perhaps what I love most about it is the fact there's never a dull moment; the mood of the hour changes just as much as the infamously bi-polar sunny-now-stormy skies above the place we call home. A calm, balmy sea can just as quickly turn overcast and thunderous with the flick of an over-turned chair or a swift and mighty curve ball of a runt's shoe-turned-weapon. All madness aside, my kids are amazing. A bunch of fun, wild, wide-eyed, dream-filled chitlins who possess as much heart as brilliance up in that cranium-filled noggin' a theirs.
