Before every party at our house—whether it’s a fundraiser, an engagement, or just another excuse to gather people—my wife finds a reason to rearrange the furniture, repaint something, or bring home another piece. She calls it “freshening up.” I call it “buying more stuff.” Somewhere around the W. Bush administration I figured we had reached our maximum décor capacity. Yet somehow, sideboards still multiply, armoires appear out of nowhere, and knickknacks sprout like weeds in places I didn’t know we had.

The day after Hurricane Katrina, I was handing out hot dogs to evacuees in Vicksburg. I stopped what I was doing when Gov. Haley Barbour’s office called and told me to get on a Blackhawk helicopter and head south. Soon, I was airborne with First Lady Marsha Barbour, Sen. Charlie Ross, and a few others, flying over the wreckage of South Mississippi. For 80 haunting minutes, no one spoke. The silence said it all—the devastation was unimaginable.

Vacations weren’t part of my childhood the way they were for most kids I knew. While my friends packed up for the coast or flew off on ski trips, my mother, who taught art to other people’s children, was too busy stretching her meager paycheck to dream of beaches or mountain slopes. We made one trip to New York to visit her parents, and every so often kind friends would invite us to tag along on their beach vacations. Those moments felt like winning the lottery. They didn’t happen often, but when they did, I carried the memory for years.
