While Mom makes up Turkey Day goodies a day in advance, and Mr. B. is on a play date in the country with a class friend, I am figuring where best to park tomorrow for us to attend the biennial Texas A&M parade up Congress Avenue to the Capitol of the Fightin’ Texas Aggie Band and the Corps of Cadets, particularly the seniors in their senior boots and drawn sabers. Last time we took Mr. B. we missed all but the tag end for failing to find a parking spot close enough to the route. But that was at eight a.m. This one, mercifully, isn’t until one p.m. so we should be able to get to it with no problem. The parades are fun to watch, along with all the white-haired Aggie alumni who live here, even if we do root for the Longhorns to win the game.
THURSDAY’s UPDATE: Mr. B. enjoyed the band and the Parsons Mounted Cavalry the best. The cav brings up the rear, with the poop scoopers behind them. Great parade as always. You could smell the dry cleaning on those cadet uniforms!
