I bet the streets of New Orleans are rather quiet right now. It is amazing how fast the city shuts down as the bell strikes midnight signaling the beginning of Lent. New Orleans has done its level best to sell Mardi Gras to the rest of America and the adult beverage companies have helped to do so. The thing is that there are a lot of celebrations in that area which don\u2019t involved alcohol and nudity. But when everyone thinks New Orleans, they tend to think of hedonism which is sad because the city is so much more than that.<\/p>\n

Here we got about 2 inches more of snow but it only stuck to where there was snow. Anywhere that was cleared is fine by this point. So it looks pretty but doesn\u2019t interfere with getting around except those few homeowners who have done nothing about their sidewalk. There is a chance for flurries tonight through tomorrow but again not much of it will be sticking. <\/p>\n

Peter is in New York for Toy Fair today. He also took care of some stuff for the weekend while he is in. He has already been to the Hasbro showroom. So Caroline and I are going to take care of some stuff around the house and run a couple of errands. <\/p>\n

Kind of a quiet day here at Casa David and that\u2019s not a bad thing.<\/p>\n

I am grateful that Peter was able to go into the city without too much trouble.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
