February

It is now February, the shortest month, but also one of the best. Besides the Elk Toss (February 25), here are a few other February highlights this year:

• Groundhog Day (February 2)
• New Orleans Pelicans seasonal mascot (and nightmare demon infant) King Cake Baby
• Don't Cry Over Spilled Milk Day (February 11)
• Valentine's Day
• Presidents' Day - to remember George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, two great, honorable, thoughtful, humble leaders
• Fastnacht Day (February 28 this year)
