Tonight Mardi Gras starts for me.  There has been parades going on for a week or so now, and balls and what not for even longer, but tonight will be the first parade I go to this season.  After the success of last season, I'm going to stick with some new rules. 

1. Don't try to go to every parade. 
2. The best parades to choose to go to are ones where you know someone on the parade route.  Everything is more comfortable with a bathroom and some place warm to go. 

On a slightly less happy point of Mardi Gras, one of the web sites is showing the parade going right past my house tonight.  Do Not Want.  We didn't get any advanced warning, and they haven't closed the street yet, so I think the web site is just wrong.  At least I hope so. 

Finally, right now I am wearing three pairs of pants (well tights, long underwear, and jeans).  I hope that is enough for the standing outside.  It may be worse tomorrow, when there is supposed to be sleet during one of my favorite parades.
