Mardi Gras Weekend

Well true to form, the weather warmed up and it started to snow, again. We went to our friends house for chimnea, as they all prepared to go to St. Louis for Mardi Gras. The Woman and I would be spending the day in Canton IL, no matter where you live be happy you don't live there. Twenty-five miles of two lane blacktop just to get to the city that time forgot. They are just a couple years from Disco there, mullets and big 80's hair rule, most of the really dressed up guys are wearing Members Only jackets. We spent the day on hard bleachers cheering our youngest son to a third place win.
Our friends got to go party in St. Louis. The things you do for children, we could have been standing outside in the 20 degree snowy weather, drinking ice cold beverages, our bladders shrunk up to the size of a pea, dancing in line to a porta-potty, wow maybe Canton wasn't so bad.
