Well folks, we are only ten days away from Ash Wednesday. How are you preparing yourself for this season?
How many sets of beads are thrown at Mardi Gras parades each year across the country? As an introvert, I tend to stay away from events where crowds of people are gathering. I guess you could say that I was into "social distancing" before it even became a thing. However, as I have enjoyed these photos from members of my family over the last two weekends, I may need to consider making it to a Mardi Gras parade after I retire. I have never experienced a Mardi Gras parade in any city. I don't think I would ever tackle Bourbon Street in New Orleans, but I could see myself enjoying temperatures in the 60's and 70's in Florida with somewhat less crowded venues. It may also be a bit more morally acceptable (if any of the stories I have heard about New Orleans are true).
