Today is Mardi Gras day in New Orleans. Perhaps it is just that absence makes the heart grow fonder, but it seems that the parades and other celebrations have been particularly good this year after COVID resulted in the cancellation of Mardi Gras last year. The weather has been excellent, and folks have been gathering with friends and family to have a wonderful time enjoying the festivities. Hopefully, some of you had the opportunity to enjoy it as well, but if not, I encourage you to plan a trip to New Orleans in the future. Happy Mardi Gras!
