I finally have an idea for the Munchkin for Xmas. I started toward the location for it, but turned back before I'd gone halfway. I was using the regular road--should have taken the interstate, although I'm not all that certain about which exit it is.

Oh well--tomorrow I'll start out earlier and cross fingers that the interstate exit will be obvious.

Things are beginning to pick up somewhat in the lead-up to Carnival (Mardi Gras). I have no desire to go into N.O. for the parades--I'll watch them on the telecasts. And I have essentially no interest in the local ones either. For the most part they are not nearly as imaginative as the ones in the city, although one is much more likely to know some of the riders.

Guess this year I'm not only a Christmas Grinch, but a Carnival Grinch as well.
