Last night k and I went to the premier of a film by a friend. The film is fantastic and thought provoking. I recommend it if you have any interest in things New Orleans.

But it was the answer to a question in the Q & A after the film that really got my mind going. Asked about the decision to go ahead and release the film in the wake of the past year, Rebecca answered that she thought the film fit in to a larger pattern of questioning that is going on in the city. She said that all of us here are asking the questions, Why here? Why now? Why have we decided to return?
