No work Fat Tuesday!
Would you like me to elaborate? Well, I’m going to anyway. In French, Mardi Gras or “Fat Tuesday” has its roots in the ancient Greek spring festival in honor of Dionysus, the god of wine. It was originally called Carnival, or in the original Latin, Carne Vale or “Farewell to the Flesh”. The Romans adopted…

Okay, you’ve had more time on your hands today than I have. This post should be on my blog – or are you going to take lessons, too????
Lessons? Nah. I’ve been practicing in the kitchen with Miah! He’s the only one who’ll dance with me! I made this post for you actually! I can only dream of Lucchese boots, unless I hock my boat!
Haha, man, check out those boots! I’ve never seen anything like ’em! Wow. Whoever owns those must be the talk of the town.
Rocky, if I had those boots, I’d dance to your music in them! Do you dance?
