If You Go to New Orleans, You Better Go See the Mardi Gras
After another cup of coffee, I'm packing up the car so, when my wife Varshna brings home the kids from school, we can hit the road for New Orleans. This will be the first Carnival that Varshna and I have been to since before we had children, which makes it about eleven years. And, like last time, this year Mardi Gras falls on my birthday, so I'll be back at the scene of the crime exactly forty-one years later. Gad.
But it won't all be beads and beer—well, actually, for the most part it will be, God willing. But I'll also be gathering intelligence for further installments of the Unfortunate Series. After all, this Carnival season is the opening statement in Nagin & Company's defense that New Orleans is still a viable city.
With the kids playing their proper role as bead magnets, it should be a lot of fun. But I also have the feeling that Varshna and I are in for our fair share of little heartbreaks as well. Hopefully, they won't add up. We'll see.

The road to wisdom? Well it's plain
and simple to express:
Err, and err,
and err again,
but less, and less, and less.

Why a Liberal Capitalist Party?
Because frankly, we just can't stand it anymore. Honestly— can you?
