for all of you living in slo town, you may well know nick and elaine. i first met them eight years ago when i worked at iptech.com.
elaine is one of the coolest people you could ever meet -- and so different from anybody else you'd meet here in slo town, and that is cuz elaine's from new orleans. it means that she calls you "child" and "cher" and "baby" and it sounds as natural as anything. it means you are always welcome in her home. it means she can swear like a sailor and it sounds like the sweetest words you've ever heard. it means there is always a mardi gras party at her house every year with a real king cake and real jambalaya and gumbo. it means she has a great accent. and it means her door is pretty much always open.
her family has been evacuated and rescued and some have come to live with her and nick and her kids.
» our local paper ran an article on them.
