On the 4th of July, we went to our neighbors’ house to have crepes at 8 am, before the big parade that goes near our house. Little did we comprehend that this parade was a very big deal in the lives of our fellow citizens. People had been aggressive and dedicated enough to camp out along the parade route up to four days in advance. I would take Chase out on walks and pass by families just sitting there, all day long, in order to reserve their apparently very coveted spots on the grass or sidewalk. On the day of the parade, we chuckled to find that we had a perfect view of this beloved parade, even though we joined in at the moment it began rather than several days prior. We watched this important parade for about 10 minutes, then decided to head home. I hope that, to those diehard fans, it was worth all the effort to have those extra coupons and candy chucked at them.

I just realized that when I posted scores for McBalderdash I didn’t put down the real answer….

Wow what a game… I loved the saves, and the empty net goal… SO good. What did you like the best?

Some loose ends I wanted to post about.

First Congrats to Stephan for getting engaged! He even beat McGowan.

Second, a group of us are playing Ultimate on Saturday (24th) morning at the intermural fields on the corner of university and university, please come and bring any friends you can. We are meeting at 9:45AM and starting to play at 10.

Third, Don’t miss game SEVEN of the stanley cup finals tonight at 8pm eastern on NBC. Winner takes the cup, and to be honest the Hurricanes really need to turn around their gameplay if they are going to win.

Fourth, there are some new pictures in the random album on the mcphotos page.

Fifth, Ryan and Aubrey had their baby, Rhett, on Cotton’s bday! Yeah Aubrey endured 12 hours at the hospital in labor. Read the whole story.
