Every time you speak, your mind is on parade.

Last night Kristen and I took the dogs downtown to watch the Elves Overboard boat parade. Before she got her promotion, she had spent a lot of time setting up the event which consisted of two parades with last night's even being the biggest. There were probably 30 or so boats involved that ranged from small pleasure craft to an actual ocean-going tug capable of pushing around massive cargo ships. Many of them involved music being piped in, but one large boat even had a live band playing that continued on as many of them docked at the convention center. for the first time, members of the public could text in votes for their favorites, allowing a more interactive experience. The new dog was decently behaved, but still being her first day and tired from the afternoon runs she was still acting aggressively when we were sitting down, but not when simply walking about.
