New member. Doing my best to join a lot of interesting meetups here in New Orleans to join adventurous folks who like to be active. (Highland Games Group, sailing, volleyball) Generally like to bike and walk and lift weights. Try to keep my lawn push mowed. Am a landlord of one apartment in the rear of my 1921 house in Uptown section of the city near Tulane University and Audubon Park. Can walk to my local grocery and bike to the park or along the levee. It's not and has never been The Big Easy... We live along the Crescent of the Mississippi and two old names are The Crescent City and the City that Care Forgot. Someone not from New Orleans called city that Easy thing as a doppelganger for The Big Apple. It is a very difficult city to live in, what with hurricanes and poverty and heavy tourism. But people here are neighborly. There is southern hospitality and we try our best to be pleasant. Kindness and compassion are the best things to offer fellow humans. I have a master's in creative writing with a poetry specialization. Undergrad in journalism. Worked at a newspaper for years. Have a few poems published. Written enough to make a book. Haven't sold it. Probably needs more work, I keep at it. Writing some erotic fantasy short stories. First time doing this. Been reading a lot of them to see what others are doing. Know some of what and what not to do. Like funny, witty folk with agile minds. Love film. Occasional cigar smoker. Duck hunter. Try to keep fit . Like to think, analyze. Always have been a daddy's girl and a Tomboy. Can change a tire, serve a volleyball and occasionally hit a hoop. Have painted much of my house inside and out. Clean my own gutters and change my own oil. Like my independence but would love to share my life with an adventurous, sharp, funny man with sumpin, sumpin! A slick Harley and a fishing pole would be nice accoutrements. Have my own shotgun and fishing poles,

When I saw "Crescent City" I thought you meant California's northwesternmost city. I was just about to give a shout out to a local. But I guess there's more than one Crescent City in the world....

Welcome

Silly, men never admit that they are lost.

Ah, stereotypes...

there is always a truth to sterotypes....for men it's ego factor (I Always know where I am!), for women it's I don't CARE where the fuck we are, i'm hungry and need a bathroom.... testosterone has its pros and cons, estrogen is the hormone of practicality and reason, This is why women live longer... Men lost and starving, die because they KNOW where they are. Women ask three people for directions or use map info and figure it out. A compass and paper maps never fail. Onstar etc. might fuck up in remote areas. Dad was boy scout troop leader. Be fucking prepared. That was a man who was never lost because he admitted it was always possible! Our vacations were no fuss.

Didn't it take Moses like 40 years to get out of the desert?

He couldn't have pulled off at a Circle K and asked for directions to the Red Sea?

Welcome--you sound like a cool and multifaceted lady, hope you like it here.

I traveled to New Orleans recently, and returned home half in love with the place. As you mentioned--there is nothing "easy" about it, other than the ease of getting to like the people. Beneath the touristy party facade were some of the most hard knocked yet resourceful folks I have encountered. It's not a city for the weak, nor a city for people seeking clean and predictable. To live there, you need to be able to stare chaos in the face and smile, to roll with the punches, and realize that not all things worth having come easy.
