An end to Mardi Gras; a return to normalcy

Chris Rose sums up life after Mardi Gras:

I love this time of year. I really love this time of year in this place. It's like nothing else in America, and we say that all the time around here, but this time -- this time -- we really mean it.

This is our first Mardi Gras since the hurricane, no offense to John's parties back in Austin. It's such a damn relief to actually be back to normal in New Orleans.

If you don't understand, ask me. I'll do what I can to explain.
