An Exciting Weekend

A confluence!
Chinese (lunar) New Year.
Presidents Day.
Mardi Gras.
These are trying times for all of us with the situation in Iraq and the entire Middle East casting a pall on the planet. But we must be of good cheer and join in the hope that soon wiser heads will prevail and bring us to a more rational state of affairs.
SO, health wealth and prosperity to all who are commencing their new year this weekend. Let us also ponder the collective wisdom of so many of United States presidents and hope that some of it filters to the current occupant. And finally let us celebrate a joyous Carnival before the Lent begins.
