Bayou Bienvenue

There is a really good chance that none of my friends and colleagues in Louisiana and New Orleans will see this post today about the Bayou Bienvenue, for today is the final day of Mardi Gras season, known to most as Fat Tuesday. But if are like me and you live outside of Lousiana there's a good chance you're wishing you were in a second line somewhere in the Crescent City.

Let the celebrations reign as the Bayou Bienvenue makes a come back.  New Orleans and Coastal Lousiana have a long way to go, however, the Bayou Bienvenue and the green building efforts in the lower 9th Ward continue to regain the fertile grounds of culture lost with Hurricane Katrina's lasting impact.

To all my friends working in and around New Orleans, I say take some time, dance a lot, and shake off the dust from all the work you're doing.  Keep it up.  We continue to root for New Orleans.
