SOMETIMES I FORGET that it's already 2009. So weird.
In Bothell, still sortof a small town, there's a corny little parade up the street. I was out watering (always with guilt) this morning, and the fire truck sirens went off, and the Seafair Pirates I'm sure (cuzz who else has such a loud cannon), along with the usual BHS band, and music and wacky kid things.
Hooray for the little corny parades. Like ancient festivals in many other countries, this traditional celebration of our freedom makes me misty, unlike the years before, because we are in such peril, and I treasure our hometown parades more than ever.
