February 2010 Month in Review
By Franks Blog on DDSI | March 01, 2010 at 05:36 PM EST | No Comments

For the shortest month of the year, February really packed it in.  Of course being in New Orleans the month found Carnival in full swing.  The parades this year were amazing as were the people.  Unfortunately it was cold.  Now I know we are from Michigan, and relative to that, it was a heat wave.  But that did not help the kids as they sat on their ladders waiting for the parades.

 

Then you add in the Saints.  How can I start to put into words the relationship this region has with this football team.  As I lived through the excitement of the season leading to the Super Bowl I quickly learned it was about more than football.  This team had come to stand for all of the pain and suffering during the “Ain’t” days and now the joy of re birth with a championship.  It was amazing to watch people’s heart heal with every passing victory.  New Orleans, you can stand with your head held high.  You bow to no one.  Crunk it up!

 

The month ended with a good story, the Olympics, and a sad story, the earthquake in Chile.  Aside from one spoiled Russian skater, the athletes proved what it was to be an Olympian.  No matter what country they came from, they could be proud of their efforts.    

And of course our hearts go out to the folks in Chile. It’s amazing when you look at it how powerful nature can be.

 

Have a good March; we’ll see you on the other end.

Another Carnival season passes

And what a great one it was.  Tomorrows parades and fun bring to a close the 2010 events and I have to say they were a blast.  Of Course the Saints winning the super bowl just added to the madness.

It was great having Jan here this year as it made it that much more fun.  She's like a kid when it comes to parades and people watching.

Next year Mardi Gras is a little later so hopefully the cool weather that’s been with us these pass 2 weeks will not be as bad.  Though being from Michigan, bad is relative.  I could be shoveling snow, but I'm not!

Now my attention turns to the Olympics and all the drama that is found there.  It's funny but I prefer watching the games up in Michigan.  You may ask why.  It comes down to one thing, Canadian TV.  Those guys really cover the games well.  I always find myself tuning in to them to get the un biased slant.

Well, Enjoy the rest of February and I'll see you right here for the monthly wrap up.

Carnival and Super Bowl
By Franks Blog on DDSI | February 07, 2010 at 10:23 AM EST | No Comments

I don't think you can understand what this town is going through with the Saints in the Super Bowl.  This time of year is insane anyway with the Carnival season going on and Mardi Gras next week, but add in to the mix the Saints, and Who Dat nation goes ultra nuts. 

What a great time t be in New Orleans.  So from just before the game, Gaux Saints, Finish strong!!
