Thanks, Channing, Freeman, Kirby and all who have sent good wishes on the 
Saints' win-- which is really more than a football game.  It's truly a 
representation of rebirth.
 
The positive feelings that have been generated by all the good will of people 
from all over the US and the world since Katrina four and a half years ago are 
what is bringing the city of New Orleans back.  The Saints have become the 
symbol.
Commentators have been remarking tonight that "Mardi Gras starts early" this 
year.
Well, I have news!  Mardi Gras started on 12th Night-- right after New Year's.  
That's the way it works. 
It's just that, now, Mardi Gras partying (the parades started this past 
weekend) will continue for the most part through Ash Wednesday....and hopefully 
the wonderful good feelings between ALL New Orleanians, their neighbors and 
friends from all over the world, will inspire us go on with the rebuilding and 
reinforcing that we are all in the same boat-- or pirogue, if you will.
 
Thanks to you all for your wonderful support.
 
Joe B in NOLA (Yeah, yew rite!-- Who Dat, indeed!)
 
Now if they can only get that damned traffic light on Elysian Fields fixed once 
and for all.......
