Tool of the Oracle: Your True Nature

I don't know about my true nature, but this meme from Sarah has certainly revealed the true nature of post-Katrina New Orleans, which is appropriate since today is the 5th anniversary of the storm.

Instructions:

1. Delve into your blog archive.
2. Find your 23rd post.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your blog along with these instructions.

My 23rd post is pretty cool, but neither it nor my 24th post had five sentences, so here are 22 and 25.

22nd post: "The storm surge exceeded 10 feet there, so just about every building is trashed."

25th post: "Our little landmarks were hit hard: Captain Humble’s (the little po’ boy place I raved about); West Marine; the Winn Dixie where we bought our provisions; the ancient, creaky swing bridge at Bayou Liberty; and even the Shell station where we’d been buying our gas."

Well, I don't know about your true nature - but hasn't the girls being away left you with an unfamiliar landscape? And didn't your meditation practice clear away some old "houses", a slow, steady storm surge that trashed some buildings?

Maybe so. :-) They all definitely reflect my true need to report to my peeps.

Mine's not worth posting; it was "Marty worked a couple of half days." I do write about my kids, though. Nice diary, it has become.
