Merrie, what a wonderful post! I haven't been to the Mardi Gras in a
number of years but your post brought back some great memories.
I do believe that you are correct in your description of the list. Just
like a goooood gummmmbo shi. It ain't no good til the secun o third day it
ben sittin on da stove. The point being the more the ideas, arguments, and
techniques get kicked around and spiced up the better things may taste in
the end. Gumbo, crabs, crawfish boils, sacks of oysters, cases of beer,
raucous cajun music......it's all about folks getting together and bein
folks and havin a good time.
