Hello Kathy, TGIF, for me, literally. Tonight’s music obviously is Mardi Gras themed. Good music, great event.

Went there back in ‘75 when I was still single, and hadn’t cracked 30 yet. Had a friend that was attending Tulane law school and invited me. Spent a couple of weeks. BEST party I ever attended. NEVER PAUSED! I’d tell ya all about it but there’s already too much filth and perversion on the internet.

Keep the Faith.

Thanks Kathy, had lunch with son today and just going to have a sunny, lazy weekend.

Has your rain stopped? Weekend plans?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Fiji, and thank you for the Mardi Gras tunes.
