Journalism: My work has appeared in The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, The Globe & Mail (Canada), The Times- Picayune (New Orleans), The Oregonian, and Willamette Week, as well as in magazines including Details, Vogue, Publishers Weekly, and Portland Monthly.
Publishing: Tight Shot, my first novel, was nominated for an Edgar Award by the Mystery Writers of America. Its sequel, Hot Shot, was roundly ignored by everyone, but was a far better book. I'm also a member of the National Book Critics Circle.
Stage: I was a member of the Groundlings and Circle Repertory West in Los Angeles, and am a playwright (see "Stage" in the right-hand rail).

Eliot Kamenitz, photographer for the New Orleans Times-Picayune, captured this image of New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin and police chief Warren Riley demonstrating their new big boy toys "crime-fighting equipment":

Patty Friedmann: A Little Bit Ruined
One of the first post-Katrina novels, and probably destined to be one of the best. Friedmann's sequel to Eleanor Rushing finds her crazy heroine still holding everything together after the storm (after a fashion), until she has to leave New Orleans and she falls apart physically as well as mentally. Mordantly, morbidly funny.
Tom Piazza: Why New Orleans Matters
The best post-Katrina book I've read. In 150 small pages, Piazza explicates the New Orleans experience simply and beautifully. I'll be passing this one on to anyone who wonders "But why would anyone want to live there?".
I have a family heirloom flintlock pistol that I would like to get
restored and preserved. It's had years of neglect, and I'd like to
find someone that can A) clean it up, B) condition it for
preservation, and if possible, C) mount it in a nice display case. I
want someone experienced and trustworthy for this task. The gun is
over 100 years old.

Right now my gun collection right now is mostly just Eastern Block Military peices. I love them all, and have lots of fun shooting them, however none of them are terribly valuable. I do have a few slightly more valuable peices such as a Browning Challenger III, a Ruger GP100, and a Ruger P89, and a Remington 870 Express Magnum 12 Gauge. I'd like to add a few more collectable and valuable guns to my collection, but I'd like some suggestions.

Sexy new guns! If I am going to hold those precious protective guns I will also fell overwhelmed. I can already imagine myself in an old special agent way with a coat and having one of that in.

I agree. The safety of the gun can sometimes depend on the gun's owner. Owner's should always be responsible.
