I never knew that I was almost deaf, until I started wearing a mask.

Turns out, that I’ve been reading lips all along. I don’t know what anybody’s saying anymore. I just nod & go on about my business.

I still can’t figure out why I have to remove it, in order to hear somebody on the phone, as well. But I do.

Naturally, places mean different things to different people - a matter of perspective. But likely what most of us associate with the Superdome (the "Dome"), renamed the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in 2011, is football.

It seems in these crazy months all we get to hear is the bad news that on some days continues to spiral. It has reached a point that many of us now just check our local news for the weather and brief details. There has been an over saturation of negative occurrences.

Continuing with the harrowing story of long-time Franklinton resident Julia Gottlieb Moak during the Holocaust, her focus was her family. At this tumultuous time Julia's primary concern was her beloved 11-year-old half-sister Esther who was terrified after her parents and brother were deported from Cannes, France.

I appreciate the tough decision that the Louisiana High School Athletic Association made last week.

LHSAA decided to prohibit high school football for its member schools until the Coronavirus situation improves.

Well, we are in the pit of our hottest time of the year. The dialogue in this house begins the same over and over. My husband swears that something is wrong with the AC because it reads at 77 degrees, and it is set for 72.
