Inconceivable. Indescribable. These words are words I type on my tablet every morning. They help my eyes reach key sequences that can be difficult to reach. It’s like a pregame stretch...
As I typed them this morning, I started crying. Michel had just told me about the attack in the French Quarter. Those words poignantly capture how this year has started in New Orleans.
I type a final word every morning that describes the people of our human family, specifically our community in the crescent city.
Invincible.
There is light in the darkness. Hate doesn’t stop hate. Shine your light.
Maxwell and I will be running the Crescent City Classic in support of @TeamGleason & @SteveGleason

”Last night, while waiting to board our plane, our daughter Carter was being her usual inquisitive self wanting to meet and say “hi” to everyone she could, until she walked up on this man.
He reached out and asked if she wanted to sit with him.
He pulled out his tablet and showed her how to draw with it, they watched cartoons together, and she offered him snacks.
This wasn’t a short little exchange, this was 45 minutes.
Watching them in that moment, I couldn’t help but think, different genders, different races, different generations, and the best of friends.
This is the world I want for her.
In a country that is so deeply divided by beliefs, I want her life to be filled with moments like this... not liberal or conservative republican or democrat, socialist or capitalist, just HUMAN.
Joseph from Samsungus in Oklahoma, if this should happen to find you.
Thank you for showing my daughter what kindness and compassion looks like.
Continue to shine your light in the world.”
