New Orleans is going to be okay, and so am I. Forgive the conflation of my affirmations, but I wrote this in a notebook on the plane home last night after a whistle-stop visit, suffering from the most incredible earache, and at the time, I really needed to believe it. No, my eardrums weren’t going to burst and fill the aisle with blood—what is it with Delta and the way they pressurize their cabins, anyway?!—and no, New Orleans is not going to be abandoned and have its culture disappear for good. Last night, I would have believed you on the New Orleans part. But man, was I freaking out about the ears thing. If you happen to see me today, talk loud. I can’t hear you.
