Too young to drive home I walked to the end of the parade route to catch the Canal-Cemeteries bus home. On that crowded bus, was the most beautiful Creole girl I had ever seen. She was sitting alone about three seats behind me. Lacking in confidence, I said nothing. Our eyes met, she smiled and eventually exited the bus.

Memories and remorse can be like that. They have a way of becoming prisons of regret, punishment without crime. I have come to terms with these lingering ghosts of missed opportunity and moved beyond bitterness with knowledge that I am lucky and although at the end of the day, I may not have gotten very far, it is certainly a wild trip worth remembering.

Creole kids never had much luck anyway. Here in the 9th Ward the best you could expect was a job and a hard hat. Never the smartest, best looking or strongest, my single advantage was a back against the wall ability to work, fight harder, and take punishment better than any opponent, traits learned growing up and surviving on New Orleans streets. I acquired self confidence, kindness and generosity from loving grandparents, suspicion and distrust from a disinterested and dysfunctional family, and an understanding of human nature from a rich variety of unique experiences gained growing up here.

I eventually learned to hide my Creole heritage behind blue eyes that I inherited from my Dutch mother, and to disguise a rough upbringing behind a thin veneer of culture and education. When it was all said and done, I longed to reclaim many things I thought I wanted to leave behind.
