Mardi Gras

Today is Mardi Gras, and this week is school vacation week in some parts, so normal is not what this week is going to be. (Although hopefully posting here will return to at least its pre-Stanford level).

JT and JU are off to the great newly-white north, and AZ has absconded to nawlins for Fat Tuesday. She just might be on one of the New Orleans web cams later today. RD is off to the Bahamas. We're sure we've missed a few others, too.

NR is observing Lent in the Russian way, so Tea may be at least slightly subdued this Friday.
