My wife, Melissa, is riding in the Krewe of Eve parade this year (her first). If anyone's going to catch it, we'll be in the vicinity of New Covenant Presbyterian Church on Hwy22. Melissa's going to be on the upper tier, passenger side of the Jimmy Neutron float.

Happy Mardi Gras! And to all you saps not currently living in an area that celebrates, you have my sympathy...

My boss doesn't think Fat Tuesday should be a holiday.

Hey Shane, I'm riding in it too. Lilo and stitch float upper tier. Small world!

Jams and I will be bringing the kids out to freeze our *!#@*! off!

Not sure where we will be yet. Probably on the west approach around the Sanctuary.

We will be looking for Melissa and Melinda! Throw me something Mrs.!

Sheri you should use your M.R.E. Antoinette photo as your screen picture. I tried uploading the pictures of the Push Mow parade but only got a white screen.

Sheri won best costume!!!

Congrats Sheri, that was a great costume! John's was great too!

Angie, sounds like great party. Can't wait to see the pictures.
