My sister-in-law does Sistalocks and she doesn't have the long rules list. She just makes sure everyone knows it's gonna be a long time, especially if it's a first timer. She even charged my wife (her sister).

Flashback: Day of the Dead 2005 My reactions to the Mexican holiday when I was a Katrina refugee

Twenty years ago, Paula and I were refugees in San Francisco, staying with Aunt Elyse. We went to the Day of the Dead parade that night and I wasn't expecting to be so moved. He's what I wrote then, reprinted with pictures from that night on my Substack, Yat's That.

I had the civet coffee as part of a chocolate bar in Paris (bar, he says, it was a tiny bite), but that was really amazing. Then, while talking to a Parisian in NOLA, I casually said, "The poop coffee." She said, "Poop coffee? What the hell?" I guess I thought it was better known than it is.
