Entering the full press of Carnival this weekend: Boheme Friday, Krewe du Vieux Saturday, Nefertiti and Tit Rex Sunday. Dress in layers for the weather, have place to stow throws, wear good shoes, sit down if you have to, remember your parade etiquette. It’s a marathon, people.

93yr old JOHN WILLIAMS on stage with the Boston Symphony Orchestra this week.
For millions of us he was the literally the soundtrack to our lives.
The day he finally becomes one with the Force, I for one will most certainly feel his cosmic energy morphing with huge sadness.

So so good... when he talks about the loss of his best friend, Carl Reiner, I was in tears. He said such beautiful things, thought about BFF.
In his honor, I'm watching Blazing Saddles, it always makes me laugh. Recommend y'all do the same.
