Mardi Gras

Best overheard conversation

"The problem with Mardi Gras is that people don't realize that life continues outside Mardi Gras"

A stranger jumps in:  "No it doesn't!"

"...My point exactly."

Sorry, all.  I am in the midst of New Orleans Mardi Gras.  (9 more days to go until MG-day).  I haven't forgotten about you.  It's just that this city has a way of getting into your blood, especially this time of year. Happy festivities!

(Thank God it's taper time.)

  3. I love Mardi Gras! I was once down on Royal Street up on a balcony hurling beads @ the drunk Zombies. I pegged a guy square in the head and it didn't faze him he was so drunk!

  4. Now is it the city getting into your blood or the alcohol?

    Have fun!
