Down To The Nitty Gritty

Because I couldn't get anyone to play Poker with me, I'm in the middle of a rousing game of Strip Solitaire. I thought I might as well since I'm getting ready for bed anyway. It does take longer than just putting on my nighty, but it is more fun. Sign in to see full entry.

Carnival Time in The French Quarter. It is Fat Tuesday in Nola (New Orleans). Some of my loved ones went down for Mardi Gras.
