It's parade day!
post parade update:
My mom and aunt came over and we walked downtown for the parade. It was more fun than I was expecting. Much of the walk was spent admiring many of the really great houses around mine. We found a spot on the parade route near the end and after almost an hour of spectating I got a call from my brother. He was still lined up and hadn't even started marching yet. He did, however, tell me where his girlfriend and others were so we went and found them and waited for my brother's corps . He's a drummer for the ancient mariners, the drinkinist drum corps around. They are somewhat famous in these parts for marching barefoot and firing cannons and general drunken mayhem. So we found the friends and saw him play and walked home. Then he showed up at the parent's house for sunday dinner drunk as a skunk and I'm realizing that this story really sucks if you weren't there for all the small hilarious moments, which you weren't. Anyway, parade day was fun, but next year I will eat before going, bring beer, and hit more bars along the route. Have fun. See ya friday.
