Happy Super Fat Tuesday, Plus an Already-Outdated Float Update


Here's what the Clarendon Mardi Gras Parade float looked like last Friday. It's now completed and I'm told it looks hilariously cool. I haven't seen it yet, but I will tonight, and I hope you will too (refer to the parade poster a few posts below for details). I'm going to be watching this thing from in front of my old friend Bono Mitchell's studio at 2527 Wilson Blvd; if you're there, stop by and I'll sign your arm and throw beads at you.

I just read an article in the New Yorker about Ben Franklin and his Poor Richard's Almanack. Is "Richard Thompson" just another of Mr. Franklin's pseudonyms?

I missed the float. I just barely saw it going around a corner. And that was so much fun! (Plus, I got lots of beads...)
