After the amount of barbeque I have eaten over the past several days I am ready to take a break from meat for a little while. Possibly all the way to easter, but we'll have to see.
What a great Mardi Gras. Every year it seems that we get better and enjoy it more richly. Just when I think it can not get any better, the next year evolves into something better. This year is was the kids appreciation of it all. This morning, Phin woke up, and did he ask about the parades? about the bands? no...he asked if I was ready to fire up the grill because "my friends coming over". I couldn't be prouder.
I took him to see Zulu, but he was about done with parades, so he danced in some kind man's truck bed then rolled back uptown for his nap (thank you dude at Clio and St. C).
Meanwhile, Mom and Dad ran down to the Bridge Lounge to celebrate their annual membership in the tribe to march in Julu. Gotta love it, Zulu is a parody of the old mardi gras. Julu is the parody of the parody. Someday there will be a parody of Julu, then we will have truly arrived.
Tomorrow is back to work. We have a long way to go, congress it still trying to forget about us. Our mayor???? might have a plan, but who would know? More jobs, more homes, more hard working people. We're getting there.
