Pieces of Flair

Happy Thanksgiving

So I actually went to the Macy's parade today. Figuring that it's my last chance to go see it and having someone remind me that not going when I live two blocks away would make me the laziest person on earth, I felt compelled. Unlike the Greenwich Village Halloween Parade, this one takes itself seriously. The crowd is noticeably different - a lot of families, far fewer transvestites, and a lot more sober. Not nearly as much fun. The highlight? Steve Irwin (aka The Crocodile Hunter) waving with such enthusiasm from his little float perch I thought he might do an unintentional stage dive into the crowd. He didn't.
