Just got back from the Grant High School Homecoming Parade on a mighty blustery, cold day here in the Midwest. Grant High School serves the village of Fox Lake, Illinois, and surrounding area in Grant Township. I get out to the parade most years as it is close by.
I love parades and see 'em every chance I get. This one I was thinking of skipping because of the weather, but went anyway.
Took a quick walk around on Grand Avenue before it and then waited for the arrival IN the car to warm up. Thankfully, it was fairly short. Everyone along the route agreed it was mighty cold.
This year's theme was something about space and the floats all had something to do with it. The senoir float was "One smallleap for seniors, One giant one for Bulldogdom." The theater department had a bunch of students dressed as space movie characters. I particularly liked the Bender robot one.
Quite a few teams were in the parade. The 2012 baseball squad evidently did very well in state competition as they were all holding trophies and plaques. Usually a graduating class has a float, but not this year, but last night we saw that the Class of 82 was having a get-together at J's.
The poor students riding on the back seats of the convertibles were looking a whole lot worse for the wear.
Just two bands: the Grant High School and Gavin Elementary ones.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
