Random Thoughts on the Thanksgiving Day Parade:
- The Rockettes: the missing link between the Ziegfeld Follies and cheerleading.
- NYC parade: spectators in coats and gloves and scarves and warm hats. Houston parade: people in jeans and t-shirts.
- There were two Australians in the parade! Anthony Warlow (playing Daddy Warbucks on Broadway right now): you have my undying love and admiration forever. You are what is good about musical theatre. Cody Simpson: you're alright too. Your blond, surfer-derived image reminds me of home.
- I love a good celebration, but I sometimes think that celebrations are less special when this country is so goddamn affluent. And so over-the-top! Fake snow to end the parade?Weird. It's a far cry from saving up for a special feast because that's the only decent meal you've eaten all year. I still sit so uncomfortably with that and I am still figuring out what to do about my feeling that we just have far too much money. Anyway, I'm looking forward to moving into my Simplify Challenge tomorrow.
- I think I just saw a character who looks like a weird Santa-Jesus-Pilgrim hybrid.
Thinks I'm Thankful For (Random Sample):
- My family and going home for Christmas! Four weeks, y'all!
- My adopted family, the Nickerbekahs, with whom we are eating Thanksgiving dinner.
- That Lucas and I come up with fun hybrid names for couples.
P.S. : The National Dog Show on TV after the parade. Hilarious.
