Kevin's Introduction

40 years ago I was born in Dallas, TX. I have never truly left Texas for more than a few weeks so Dallas has been home. It’s a good place for the most part. Dallas is progressive, a bit hurried, scattered, modern, and it has been a great home. My family is here and we are all doing our thing. I have met many friends in Dallas who have come and gone. I met my wife here as well.

I have been married to Nancy for 10 years. She is from New Orleans and moved to Dallas 20+years ago. We have had many visits to New Orleans. These were not my first visits to New Orleans though. I went many years ago a time or two. The city always appealed to me from my first visit. As years have passed, I have read that it is common to fall in love with New Orleans because of the way it is. It is unlike any other city around.

Our path in life is taking us to New Orleans-family calls. I read in a Chris Rose book called 1 Dead in Attic that “New Orleans girls never live anywhere else and even if they do, they always come back.” It’s true. It is time for Nancy to go home and I am taking the journey by her side.

This is going to be quite a ride for me and I want to share it. I am full of all kinds of emotions-excitement, nervousness, sadness, fear, and all the things that go with making such a life change. It is easiest for me to work through this with writing and sharing. I plan to share my experiences learning the New Orleans lifestyle, my ups, downs and all in between. I hope you will take this journey with me at your leisure.
