Today is the day the Blackhawks are having their celebration parade through the streets of Chicago. They'll be in 7 red double decker buses winding their way through downtown. So far it's a beautiful day in the City and there are thousands of people lining the streets (all dressed in red and black). I'm happy watching it on TV. Guess I've lost that young "sense of adventure" I used to have. One guy they interviewed had his little baby strapped to his chest and the poor child looked scared to death by the chaos. Poor little thing.

I'd be the first to say I love a good parade, but hate when they bring small children and dogs to those things.

I love our local parades but that one in Chicago on Friday was NUTS!!! I think they said there were about 3 million people there crowded into and on the streets. It was a sea of red and black....and it was very hot and humid with people passing out from the heat.

No thanks! I watched it on TV!!
