Q took us out in with his observations noted during his recent trip to New Orleans.  It was a great weekend that included a bike tour of the French Quarter and Garden District (https://www.buzznola.com/garden--quarter-combo), as well as a performance at the historic Preservation Hall (https://www.preservationhall.com/).  Related stories learned about the pride that fueled the build-out of the Garden district as wealthy members built larger and larger mansions in this suburb of New Orleans (it was cooler during the summer). The houses got bigger and more elaborate in a competition among the prideful men. Juxtaposed this against the humility that was evident during the Jazz performance where very talented, yet humble, men played amazing music together.  Friendly, healthy competition and ambition are positive – nothing wrong with that, but the excessive pride that fuels negative outcomes is to be avoided.  Just asked the PAX to consider the importance of humility in the face of the examples of excessive pride on display even today.
