Introduction

Y'all,

I'm Joe, dad of Brittany and Bridget (the Bs) and married to Pat (Sugar, The Lovely Wife, LW, W, Dwal'n, bay-beee, She-Devil, Devil Woman, Evil-One, yadda-yadda-yadda).

The Terms and Meaning area might help Y’all translate Joe-ese into English. The Essays & Ramblings section is where I'll post my “achieved stories”. The Saints area is where I celebrate the Who-Dat Nation's team.

Meeting The She Devil was written in 2008. In 10 Chapters, it tells the story of how Pat and I met, married, move to California, then moved to Illinois where the Bs were born.

Life With A She Devil Vol I was written in 2009 and contains 11 Chapters. Each Chapter is an email that I sent over the course of the year describing my exaggerated versions of daily life thus the title of this Blog -- “Life Etouffee” (life smothered in sauce). The emails were not sent at a specific interval but just as I thought of stuff to write about.

Life With A She Devil Vol II started in Jan 2010 using the same constructs as Vol I and currently has 8 Chapters also based on my emails. At some point, I’ll post these Chapters here, one or two at a time until I catch up to present day. Same as for Vol I, when completed, Vol II will be archieved.

The ramblings that I post on this Blog will hopefully amuse or make ya laugh but at times may make ya cry.

Joe
