And roll, and roll…the parades have been rolling down here where I live for three weeks now in preparation for the Big Event: MARDI GRAS!!!!
Yep, me and thousands of other revelers have been crowding the streets, barking a “Throw me something, Mister!” for MoonPies, doubloons, peanuts, cups, toys and, of course, BEADS!
My friends and I look forward to the Mardi Gras, or Fat Tuesday, season every year, when the indulgence of the holiday season culminates in a few glorious, colorful, mystical days of parades, balls, and FOOD! And when the final bead is thrown and the last, lingering slice of king cake is consumed, the Lenten season begins.
This year’s Mardi Gras is especially eventful as we celebrate BOTH the holiday AND the Super Bowl!!! As I told you earlier, I live smack dab in the middle of Saints’ Territory and we are so stoked to see them come marching in with that beautiful trophy.
This will be my only entry this week, but when the celebrating is over, I’ll be back to focusing on the college visit process. For now, it’s time for fun.
Gotta go. It’s time to get my zydeco on.
Woof,
Clyde
