[Magdalen] Home again, home again

[Jo Craddock]

I was relieved to see no incidents on the state police map before your 
departure from BR on Monday a.m., and none arise along your route.

We hosted "the" Brené Brown (http://brenebrown.com/) at St. James BR 
last evening at a flood recovery benefit. She decided, over the weekend, 
to drive from Houston, rather than fly. That was helpful to our fund 
raising bottom line, but due to a fiery wreck on I-10 between Beaumont 
and Lake Charles, and detour to US 90, she arrived with less than 20 
minutes to do mic checks, etc. before the start of the evening's 
programs, with 500 people outside the doors waiting to get in to general 
seating. More than a few of us were sweating that one.

Peace,
Jo
