With the entire country in lockdown as the COVID-19 pandemic continues, it can seem like the future is a bit uncertain. While we are all quarantined in our homes with more free time on our hands, we thought we would put a smile on your face with a lighthearted post about what every New Orleanian is doing during the quarantine.  It’s important to laugh during these times, and we wish everyone reading this good health.
