I've blogged before about living in a small condo complex. Last night we all went out to a nearby restaurant to celebrate Fat Tuesday. Many of the neighbors went and we all had a great time. We periodically have get togethers in our courtyard, at local establishments, and at various neighbors' ho...

Fat Tuesday (Mardi Gras) is this coming Tuesday. It's the last big party before the solemnity of lent, the six weeks leading up to Easter. It's a chance for fun with friends, parties, beads, celebrations, rich foods and cake, parades, and whatever else one chooses as a way to celebrate. Our condo...
