Beata T and I stretch for some beads in front of my office building, 2008.
10. You’ve ever heard of Joe Cain.
9. You know “Tahtacocktail” is a question. “Tartar sauce or cocktail sauce on your po’ boy?”
8. You’ve ever coordinated your tie with a 17-cent strand of beads.
7. You put an entry on your time sheet for “review parade schedule.”
6. You don’t even think about parking downtown any weekend the month before Lent.
5. You have used beads as packing peanuts for an office move.
4. You bring an umbrella to work for catching throws.
3. You have injured yourself diving for a Moon Pie on your lunch break.
2. You are vaguely aware a city in Louisiana does something this time of year too.
1. You expect to be off on Fat Tuesday, ’cause everyone else is.

Sounds like a man who has experienced each item first hand. Looks like you’re having fun, too. Where’s the sporting wife???

Not so much this year. Because of the office move, I am still working out of cardboard boxes at home. I did watch the parades on TV as I worked under protest on Tuesday. As for the Sporting Wife, someone has to take the pictures. (There were some pictures with her in them as well, but she was so proud of getting the beads flying through the air in the upper right she wanted to run this one.)
