re: How many of you are planning to live in Louisiana your entire lives? Why?

I inherited a fair amount of land... And the belief that I have a responsibility to preserving it and keeping it in my family.

But more than that, I've lived and traveled the globe.

The only places that could entice mw for any real length of time are the south carolina lowlands and Georgia coast. (Literally just copies of louisiana)

I love the weather. I love the people...even as I hate them. I love the food, the drinks, the entertainment.

I love that my local public magnate school is now decently integrated and putting up ACT and SAT scores well above average.

I take a road trip every year across the country. Sometimes into another. I'm always ready to get home.

I've yet to smell anything as sickeningly sweet as when the wysteria and jasmine compete for climbing room above my outdoor seating area.

Life is sweet.
