Happy Mardi Gras!

Happy Mardi Gras to everyone, hope y'all have a great Fat Tuesday.

Thought we'd share a few (clean) pictures of our first Mardi Gras experience ... which was pointed out to each and every one of the passing floats for several parades by Richie's friend Christy.

Mardi Gras thrives on imagination and fantasy. As luck had it, we found three fixtures of our childhood imagination in the Quarter in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy. And yes, we are double-fisting the famed Huge Ass Beers ... and STILL saw them!

Rog and Richie truly earned their beads on Fat Tuesday ... and made a few 'friends' along the way. Richie's a native New Orleanian who's also proud to call me his former officemate...and a trusted advisor (ha ha). He swears that one day he'll run for office and this photo will surface, ruining his chances at fame at fortune. Oh the risk you run for a little Fat Tuesday fun :).
