parades

Here's the news. It did not rain on July 4th . In fact, it did not rain on the parade. Amidst the flags, kiddies in VERY cute poses, horses, boy scouts and Haystack carrying its own cloud was OHA. and there he was, making his first public appearance this year--Cableman. Admittedly he did not have the space to demonstrate his unique grace and power. In fact, he was pretty much confined by the width or narrowness of the road. Still, it was a thrill to see him, looking not a year older than last year. Alison (Chase) hung off the side of the cab of the truck and Mia (Kanazawa) walked along with a block of granite on her head. I mean, we all knew the granite was costume, but it looked pretty real. The truck was prop rather than costume. It all served to whet my appetite for more. And more.
Cableman did not show up on the Stonington Fish Pier for the Fish'n'Fritters. He was home rehearsing. I'm going to the fireworks. Maybe I'll see you there.
