I left the house at 10am for this parade. It was interesting to see all these guys in kilts in 34+ degree weather. .. the bag pipes... gun fire... and the dogs. What is the deal with this town's obsession with dogs. I thought the dog park was too much but to hear some treat their dogs as family members...
I then went to a place to see Revolutionary War soldiers during a typical Christmas. I did not have to pay, but I wanted to ward off a crowd so I slipped the lady some cash. I thought it was great parents called their kids away... excellent.
The coolest part of that was the lesson from the Revolutionary War surgeon. Pretty crude from today's medical standards.
I then went to some friends movie debut. I could have hung out more with myself, but I'm glad I went to the 20 minute homemade documentary/comedy... Beautiful women, got a couple hugs... and the film was awesome.
Then we tried to see the boat parade but not sure it even went through. We saw no boats in the river. Did we miss it? Oh well.
Then I spent some time talking with a couple of us "older" guys. It was good.
