From Superbowl weekend to Mardi Gras

The excitement of the upcoming events has all of southern Louisiana in a frenzy. It's really quite a phenomenon! We had a Black and Gold Friday pizza luncheon at work today with background music appropriate for the occasion, starting off with, "When the Saints Go Marching In." I forgot to wear a Saints T-shirt, but fortunately, wore a tan work shirt, so I wasn't too far off. Someone thought it might be a nice touch to take a picture of the USDA Who Dat Nation. They forwarded it to everyone, so I am posting it here. I can't even imagine what this area is going to be like if the Saints win the Superbowl. It will be total non-stop craziness from the win until Mardi Gras has passed. Geaux Saints!!!

Mardi Gras parades will be rolling tonight in many areas besides New Orleans. In Houma the Krewe of Hercules will begin rolling at 6:00 PM down and will go through downtown. Parades will continue to roll all the way up to Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday) on February 16 this year. Win or lose, there will be an added parade to pay tribute to the Saints this coming Tuesday (Feb 9).

That's so awesome! I love the picture of the USDA Who Dat Nation. You should post it on Facebook too. I can only imagine the excitement down there - I was actually talking about it with a coworker today. And then Mardi Gras on top of it all! We'll have to tune in to the Saints parade if they air it...
