Mardi Gras and our celebration poignantly on hold
Muses was cancelled last night because of threats of snow, which we didn’t get here in the city although we got hail and lots of cold rain. This wonderful, all woman, parade rolls tonight in back of three other parades so read: very late, but it is as nasty outside now as it was yesterday if not more so. Meanwhile, this weather is actually granting this city a nice respite from the celebration that began last weekend when our blessed boys won the Superbowl, most of my friends were telling me they didn’t know how they would continue through Mardi Gras as they had been on nonstop celebration mode – nothing to sneeze at in a town that has a festival that celebrates poboys with its own festival – we are seasoned celebrators, but still even we need a break. So thanks mother nature for knowing what is best for us.
