Le Bon Temps

By admin Posted on February 8, 2010 Posted in Cassander, New Orleans Tagged with cassander, new orleans

We shared a table with a Canadian couple the other night, Saturday, waiting for the parade to start.  He was already four scotches in and still seemed mighty sober.  She was adjusting her scarf, watching out for him, watching out …

Brave Captain Harvey-It’s All About the Money, Part 2

By admin Posted on September 7, 2009 Posted in Cassander, Stories Tagged with captain harvey, cassander, new orleans

I sat in my living room with my feet up, the dog by my side whimpering.  Harvey was in the shower, slapping lather up and down his arms and gargling.  The water shut off and he stomped in the tub …

Brave Captain Harvey and the Barbers of Berlin

By admin Posted on August 3, 2009 Posted in Cassander, Stories Tagged with captain harvey, cassander, new orleans
