Mardi Gras Live!

Today is Lundi Gras and Mardi Gras is only hours away. The weekend was filled with parades in New Orleans and surrounding communities. The party atmosphere really goes into overdrive from here on until midnight tomorrow night. While there are numerous dedicated Mardi Gras websites, Bourbon Street web cams, etc., my personal recommendation would be to go to WDSU TV. It's live and the crew following the various parades do an excellent job. You can watch live, or sample some of the videos at the bottom of the webpage to get a sense of what Mardi Gras offers those who flock here to see the spectacle.

I'm heading out of town tomorrow...going to Cary, North Carolina...to brush up on the statistical packages that SAS has to offer. Training isn't cheap, but the statistician at our area office had built up some extra credit, so she is allowing me to take advantage of the credit she had built up, which I am very grateful for. Timing is good, to get away from the craziness, but Judy is going to have to drive me to the New Orleans Airport, since it's pretty much a given that there won't be any parking spaces available.
