It’s Mardi Gras today, also known as Fat Tuesday, and in New Orleans, today is anything but just another Tuesday.  Many of you know I used to live in NOLA, and you may not know that I miss it every day.  It’s a place that’s both indescribable and that has inspired so many people to try to put into words a space that’s just magical.  So today, take a moment to just enjoy being alive.  If you were in New Orleans, you might be spending it catching coconuts and dancing to a brass band.  I wish I was there.
