Related: About this forumHappy Mardi Gras, Y'all!
Religious or not, today is a day of feast and celebration and just plain having a great time.
Some may show up tomorrow with ashes on their foreheads, while others will just have an ice pack.
It will take a week to clean up the mess, as those who observe lent begin the period of denial.
Lent will lead to reflection for some and a chance to get back to work for others.
Easter will be see as a time of forgiveness and rebirth or a great opportunity to get together with family and play games with the children.
Whatever it is for you, I wish you a wonderful day!

Lots of festivals coming up and places will be hopping.
