Whether you are celebrating la magic
del Carnevale di Venezia,

or enjoying the festivities of Mardi Gras
in New Orleans,
including

hosting a partiti
in your new apartment
cheering the floats in the parade as they pass
directly in front of your home
while consuming King (cup)Cake,
may you always be in the fun family section
for a way good Fat Tuesday!
