There's Nothing Like New Orleans and Family to Chase Away Those Holiday Blues

A major deadline is met, a long, tiring, exciting, soul-redeeming semester is over, as is one of the most important, trying, painful, gloriously life-altering years of my existence; and so is another Blue Holiday Season. To mark it all and cheer its passing, below I have posted photographs of my family in New Orleans enjoying Christmas and toasting the beginning of perhaps the most jubilant year in the Bosco family for decades -- a child is coming!

Above is my son Joseph, his beautiful wife Michelle and mother-to-be of my first grandchild, and Linda, my high school sweetheart and former wife of 31 years -- and still gorgeous -- on Christmas Day.


Joseph and his mother.


Joseph and Michelle.


Michelle, "You got that right!" Christmas morning.


Joseph, "What is this?" Christmas morning.


Joseph and Michelle with baby clothes, Christmas morning.


Michelle with baby phone, Christmas morning.


A week later and it's time to party on New Year's Eve; Joseph in the kitchen of their condo in the trendy Warehouse District downtown New Orleans.

Joseph and Michelle arriving at Pat O's on new Years Eve.


Happy New Year! Joseph and Michelle at Pat O's
