Premiership Rugby Update

For those who follow rugby, you may have noticed that Premiership Rugby takes a three-week break prior to the Christmas holiday.  However, they go right back at it the day after and go straight through the winter months, so there's plenty of action coming your way.

Mardi Gras

Will you be in Costume for Mardi Gras?  or just having a swinging gay old time? 

Enjoying Mardi Gras?

If you haven't been celebrating Mardi Gras yet, it's way beyond time to start.

Germans have been celebrating Fasching since January 7th, the Carnavale is ongoing in Venice, even New Orleans has ongoing krewes

New Orleans will take a week off for the Super Bowl, which is quite the traveling party itself, but will be resuming to get all the partying and feasting in before Ash Wednesday commences at midnight of Mardi Gras, Fat Tuesday itself, February 12.

In New Orleans, at Midnight of Fat Tuesday, the Fire Department hoses down the streets, the police go through the party district and yell at people "go home."  Fat Tuesday is the end of the feasting, not the start.  Lent has then begun.
