God bless you, TC! You are a real trooper, and you'll beat this! So good to hear from you.
To all my friends from Venice, LA., to New Orleans:
I watched your misery develop from my hospital bed, and my heart goes out to you.
Most of you have spent half your lives working on the water like I have, and we saw the mistakes compound themselves hour after hour.
Y'all needed a lot more oil field ingenuity and a lot less beaucratic ineptitude.
God bless you all.
