Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Five emotional observations from Super Bowl Sunday:
1. Traditions are great reasons to be close to people we love
2. Sports, music, food, friends – few things rival these pleasures
3. Fighting for the prize seems noble
4. Never lose hope for victory
5. Never get comfortable being in control

To what lengths and what depths will you go to leave a trail of love? Some parents defy embarrassment, boredom and distractions to leave a legacy.
We can only hope we might fit that description.

Three blogs on balance so far, a quick jump over to our moneymaker (job), click here please.
Mardi Gras 2013 began yesterday, and yours truly was there.
Teaching all day inside the Mercedes Benz Super Dome, dinner at The Palace Cafe on Canal Street, beignets for dessert at Cafe Du Monde while sitting on Jackson Square fence, watching Mardi Gras parade pass by.
Heading back to the Hyatt Regency New Orleans, for amusement, we walked a few blocks down Bourbon Street.
What started as a spontaneous moment to stop, step aside, and people watch for a moment morphed into a 30-minute sit-com.
Mesmerizing.
Fascinating, it seemed we (most likely) were the only two sober folks in town.
Alcohol made everyone amazingly brave. But it didn’t make anybody an ounce stronger.

New Orleans is a spirit filled city. Hard to explain what that feels like, but after three recent visits, it’s real.
What is glaring is how the spirits are at extreme ends – Divine presence and the fiery passion of satan.
It feels like a battle ground.
And in some strange way, almost feels like daily living.
Anywhere.

What should we call these moments when they happen to us?
Those little moments when we do something that sort of embarrasses us, and we are so tempted to stop…
But we don’t.
And when we’re done, we are somehow gifted with the fact that we may have just inspired someone in that moment of not stopping.
Monday, I saw a father hug his 12-year old son in the school parking lot as the Head of School walked to her car.
You could tell there was a moment when the dad thought, “Maybe my son is too tall and too old to be hugging in the school parking lot.”
And when it was done, a thought occurred to the dad. Maybe the Principal was also trying to stop doing something, like staring and feeling completely heart-warmed and over-joyed.
Weird.
This is a true story. I was there. So was my son.
And tempted again to stop… right here, right now (plowing through it… )
The after-school hug has been a daily tradition for ten years.
Weird.
Be well and remain amazed.
Do your thing that brings you joy. Do it for yourself and those you care about.
And maybe, just maybe, it may be exactly what someone else needs desperately to see or hear, exactly when they need it.
