"Throw me Something Mister!!"

There are four parades that one must see during Mardi Gras.  They all occur during the four days of Mardi Gras weekend.  Last night was Endymion.  Tonight is Bacchus, tomorrow night is Orpheus and Tuesday is an all day affair beginning with Zulu,then Rex followed by the truck parades.

Today's parade, Bacchus is one of my favorites.  Oh cruel God of libations how you mock me with your unquenchable thirst for wine.  (I am not allowed a drop of alcohol due to a condition that harshly requires me me to abstain temporarily at least.)

We are to meet some dear friends and former neighbors of ours at their home for food and drink before making our way to the parade route.  Again, I will feel like an onlookers while the rest partake of adult beverages.  I will be with the all the gathered grand children yelling "Throw me something Mister!!"
