August and the Blazing Southern Summertime


Hola friends and family,

It's blazing hot in New Orleans; lethargy and sluggishness rule this time of year. Hot. Humid. Moist. I think you get the picture.

I visited Wayne in July, celebrated his birthday with him and conducted a little business while there. You can call him Teetotalin' Wayne now, because he's been completely off the sauce for a month - doctor's orders. He needs to be alcohol-free for six months and then he can start his treatment regime (January timeframe). In the meantime, he had a few preparatory shots that sent him into a 3-day tailspin; he's much better now but he said the medicine made everything taste like metal. Needless to say, with the weather and the medicine, he's not been able to find or do much work around town, and bills are piling up (again).

You can continue to show your support for Wayne's recovery with cash donations or even just a phone call to let him know he's on the right path and should stay there. Click the PayPal link, or email me and I'll give you information on how to contribute ANY amount you can afford.

This crappy economy is not showing signs of giving up any time soon, we are all affected, and I hope that things improve for everyone soon. Please know that Wayne greatly appreciates your concern and confidence in him. In the meantime, keep your spirits up, people, and let's help Wayne keep his, too.



Happy Dog Days of Summer,
