Parade Watching

I'm watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade on TV right now. I remember watching it as I grew up. I also remember, being part of my high school marching band (yes, I'm a nerd, I know), hearing about bands being invited to march in the parade and thinking how way cool it was, since I had never been to big old New York City.

It's so weird to me that I'm now watching the parade and know exactly where they are walking and broadcasting from. That I was walking on those streets yesterday as a part of my normal daily routine. Things sure have changed.
