day 5

I grew up in New Orleans in the 60's so of course my new favorite show these days is "Treme" on HBO. The first episode has Steve Zhan's character going on about how New Orleans and Louisiana in general were better off when the Mafia ran things and how flooding after Katrina never would have happened with Carlos still at the helm. I remembered living down there during that period and one of my funniest memories was of my football coach, a huge Italian in a neck brace, who also was in a certain organization. I remember him yelling all the time in that New Orleans/Brooklyn accent that they alway get wrong in the movies. No wonder "The Sopranos" always seemed more like a documentary to me!
