Inappropriate bears! Hee. I'm sure your song and dance routine did much to distract the little patients and their families.
I'm back from the parade. I was concerned that the growth of the city would transform the parade into a more formal affair. But still as hokey as ever. There were 3 marching bands in kilts. Our new mayor, a woman for the first time. Lots of residents on bikes dressed or painted appropriately. About a dozen trucks from various local bars playing live music and being rowdy. University football players and cheerleaders. The green pig. Lots of dogs. It lasted maybe 30 minutes. Still picked up some pink cheeks.
It was fun. I'm glad I insisted on attending this year. Next year I may decorate the bikes and do it right.
What is up with those bears? Oh my word.
When we were back on the bus, we auctioned off the inappropriate bears, with the money going to JNF. (Well, we auctioned off a few of them. When we'd gotten bored with that and no one had any more money that they wanted to spend on it anyway, we switched over to "Anyone who comes to the front of the bus and sings or dances or otherwise makes a fool of himself gets an inappropriate bear.")
Dude. I *so* want a "Two Words: Suck It" bear!
But, uh, yeah -- they probably wouldn't be the best choice for kids.
Hi, Bitches! I've been skipping a lot lately due to no time for anything but work, but I've missed you all!

Yay to GC and her GF!!! Congrats on your Paperversary!
Happy Anniversary to Laura & B!! I love your nearly two decade one night stand!
I'm sitting at home today not doing much for the first time in a long while. It feels quite nice. I did have to go out for a bit because my hard drive died a scary death. It's currently in the shop going through data recovery. I hope to heaven that they can get the main stuff off that I want. I was bad and haven't backed up in over a year. I know, I know.
HMOG, I just need to wrap this paper up, and I'm done. Problem is, my brain's got no juice left!
Yipes! Hard drive~ma, ChiKat.
Hil, I'm loving the bear stories.
Amateur Drinkers Day is ramping up quickly here in NB. Wish me patience.
Hey juliana - you feeling any better these days?
Mergh. At least I have my voice back! How are you, sweetie?
