Happy Mardi Gras

But That's Another Story

Little stories that amuse me. But then, I'm easily amused.

Bio: "Gen X" mama with goofy New Age sensibilities and, yet, a skeptical mind. Go figure. I grew up in Alabama, went to college in New Orleans, lived in Atlanta, Northern Virginia (DC area), the DC-Baltimore corridor, Wilmington, NC and now Long Island. Phew. Now my bags are unpacked, I live in a magic cottage near the beach with the world's coolest kid, 3 adorable kitties, and...coming soon...the love of my life. But that's another story.

Brings back memories. Sue and I honeymooned in the Big Easy at Mardi Gras time in 1983. Got there the last 2 days and then had 4 days of regular N.O. Worked out well. We have gone back several times. Haven't been there since the hurricane. But would like to go again.
