    Happy Mardi Gras!

    It's a holiday Tuesday down here. Last parade of the year comes by my house in a couple hours. We don't do New Orleans - way too many people. Its going to be an interesting string of Fridays during Lent with the cost of crawfish sky high.

    I was staying I Theriot this time last year. Even that far out in the marsh the celebration was crazy.

    I’m enjoying my day off and certainly wouldn’t waste it at a parade.

    The decorative porch lights have been purple and green since January 6th. I have had my music on all day and heading to a Mardi Gras party this evening.
    Just be kind to one another. It really is that simple.

    We ordered 37 kingcakes that we deliver to other docs that refer to us (I'm a dentist) and went to dental school in NOLA. Most up here have no clue about anything Mardi Gras.
