Posts elsewhere, Carnival, Trombone playing

[infrogmation]

Just posted a buncha stuff over in the antiwar community. (Much mirrored in the moderated nonviolent community-- though since the obnoxious flame-bait troll with multiple accounts was finally booted out of "antiwar", discussion seems to be flowing back to there.) Also posted on the interesting infojunkies community.

It's Carnival time again in New Orleans. Went to a good costume & kingcake party. First parade (Krewe du Vieux Carre) will be the 19th.

I am looking around at for pay sites to move & expand my Mardi Gras webpages to. I hope to have something new up within the next few weeks.

My trombone playing has undergone a surprising rapid improvement this month. For years I've thought of myself as a player of no particular ability, whose playing would get perhaps a little better with increased practice, but not a whole lot. Somehow I experienced a sudden jump in ability, almost all at once being able to easily do a number of things I couldn't before. Has anyone had a similar experience?

"It is indeed leading-up-to-Mardi-Gras season again. The first King Cake arrived at work on Friday. I did not get the baby."

The Mysterious Mr. Rootbeer is somewhere where the tradition of Kingcakes is observed?


"Would you be willing to strap a webcam onto your head in exchange for a little web space on a popular Mardi Gras website? If so I might be able to set you up with a guy who can make you a deal."

I'd need more than "a little" web space... A wireless webcam? Can't be going around Marigny & the Quarter trailing cables...
