@CarolineV_Smith I was in Maine 20 years ago. Blue skies then. I am in Maine today. Blue skies once again. It is a stark contrast to the horror we felt and feel.

I had the honor of writing a guest blog for the mental health organization, @TWLOHA It is an honest admission of my struggle with a dissociative disorder. But it is also a statement on persistence, acceptance, and the power of song.

Late last night I crossed the 75% mark of my first draft of the book. 90,000 words. 😬

This picture is from 1884 somewhere in Mississippi. I found it on the Yazoo-Mississippi Delta Levee Board website. Looks identical to our own boat, Oxbow, except I don’t usually wear my bowler hat and bow tie when I’m rowing 🚣

Cannot wait to read this!

1000+ words into writing “that chapter” I’ve been avoiding for months. Feeling a surge of accomplishment at just getting the damn thing started.

I’ve literally spent hours tracing the arcs of Harold Fisk’s old maps of the Mississippi’s former channels. These new Lidar images are equally as mesmerizing...

Crazy to consider, but sooner or later, it could be a riverless future for New Orleans and Plaquemines Parish. https://t.co/squwzuZOlW
