Riding the rails from New Orleans to Jackson

By TERRY R. CASSREINO

JACKSON, Miss. (Wednesday, May 13, 2009) -- Camryn, Matthew and I capped a two-day quick trip to Slidell with a four-hour trip on the City of New Orleans from New Orleans to Jackson.

It was a perfect ending to a brief excursion in which I returned a car to my mom and toured Camryn's new school in Slidell. I start my new job in New Orleans on Monday, May 18; the family will likely move down in June or July.

I'll update more on the job later. For now, here is a short slide show from the train trip. Click the slide show for access to a larger version of the photo. Thanks for viewing.

Camryn dances up a storm

By TERRY R. CASSREINO

JACKSON, Miss. (Saturday, May 9, 2009) -- Camryn took center stage today at her dance recital held at Belhaven College.

Pam, Matthew and Pam's family met at Belhave College for the event at 2 p.m.; I was there, too, taking a few photos. I was going to video the entire production, but stopped short when I heard that videos were strictly forbidden.

It turns out they were filming their own production and selling DVD copies for a whopping $45 each. Oh well, I opted for photos instead (and a short snippet of video that probably wasn't that good).

Below is a photo gallery slide show of the big day. Remember, you can click the photo to view a larger version. And you can click the photo to gain access to my other photo galleries at Picassa.

Enjoy.

Matthew's birthday memories: A slide show you must see

By TERRY R. CASSREINO

MADISON, Miss. (Sunday, May 3, 2009) -- Sorry it's been a while since I posted here. I have been up to my neck with Jackson mayoral politics, managing a candidate in the Tuesday, May 5, Democratic Party primary.

Well, I did manage to post a new slide show -- this once covering Matthew's birthday on March 16, 2009. I plan to post another slide show in the next few days for Camryn's birthday.

Hope you enjoy.
