Watching the events unfold in New Orleans gives me renewed perspective on what is important in life, and how lucky my family and I are to be able enjoy the leisure activities that I write about on this site.

As a FEMA contractor, my company and members of my staff are helping to respond to the disaster,  but it is clear that it will be years until New Orleans is recovered.
