Mardi Gras
All things considered I think I rather be at the Rex Ball than eating in the mess tent. The chow is actually pretty good but if I could I'd like to be visiting my cousins in New Orleans and watching the parades from their club's reviewing stand, then going to Rex and later that evening checking out the meeting of the courts at the Comus Ball. Champagne beats the hell out of Iced Tea, but White Tie and Tails is not as comfortable as BDUs. Ah well, you can't have everything. Maybe next year.
