Walking The Edge with Sue Ward Drake
What do a former army sniper and an uptight ghost tour
guide have to do with each other? Well, there’s the way the army veteran
gives the woman-with-better-things-to-do soldering glances. And the way the
French Quarter ghost guide can’t seem to turn around without running smack into

There is a vaccine coming to all of us very soon! With the vaccine, when most people are vaccinated, will come a shift towards life as we knew it before the pandemic. I don’t want to dwell on all the negativity that has been part of all our lives right through today.
Instead, what are we going to do going forward? I

attention most. What will my priority be for the coming year? I have had words like travel, family, marriage, study, and health. The word enables me to not get

and running a home.
