Fat Tuesday Knows What It Means
     Today is Shrove (Fat) Tuesday Mardi
Gras Day, March 4, 2025.
Fat Tuesday Knows What It Means
     Celebrated in New Orleans since 1699,
and in cities all over America including
Dallas, Parades and Parties, on this last
big blast (formerly a day of penance)
before Ash Wednesday, begins in the
Christian calendar, and incudes 40 days
of Lent, ending on Easter Sunday April
20, 2025.
     Pictured here is our cousin-in-law Nilu Quraeshi celebrating Mard Gras
     For us, Fat Tuesday is always about the
great music and the greatest Louis
Armstrong, who brightened up our lives
whilst we attended Newtown High School in Corona, Queens, New York.

     Today Louis’ former home at 34-49 107th Street Corona is a museum, but occasionally during the 1950s he could be observed relaxing on the stoop talking to the neighbors.

     They named the airport in New Orleans after Louis Armstrong and as they played Super Bowl there last month we thought of one song he sang and featured his trumpet.
