Is your work place celebrating “Mardi Gras” and having FUN?   This  aisle  in our work place is called “Bourbon Street” and we …”workers” all pitched in to do our part…to make this seem like you were celebrating…with the largest of crowds…anywhere!

The lady with the cubical next to my  special location on this block…is Jane Amati…and she wanted  a giant of a “JOKER” made to be displayed on the pillar…  just as you see me standing next to…in the above photo. Everybody knows…that just because you want something…does not mean that you are going to get that exact thing…exactly as you want it!

So…with as much bragging as I did in the past…as to what a creative artist my grand-son, Alan is… and the terrific work he does…so inspired with ideas…and  then… since  JANE Amati …right next to me…always listening…came to me , with the question…”If I buy some craft sheets of  colorful art boards…do you think that your grand-son Alan would make a “JOKER” – – suitable enough to be hung on this pillar – – large enough to be seen  by everyone coming and leaving our area???”

I had to take the challenge…I said…”YES”  – “I can not promise…what we will get…but  – I am sure that he will do something …that you will like!”  Well…as you can see…standing next to me…is the best looking “JOKER” that I have ever seen…and made by  my grand-son, Alan!

We had that “JOKER” there …for months…as so many people wanted to see for their selves…what everyone was talking about and having their picture taken with. This was really something to talk about…and we in this department enjoyed …so much so – – that our “Bourbon Street” “Mardi Gras” celebration was just the best…as we would be  having  many  visitors from the other  floors in the   building coming by …just to let us know what  they were  seeing  – – was an authentic looking “Mardi Gras” – and were glad to celebrate with us!
