A MARCHING BAND IN MY BEDROOM
I had it all planned out. I'd sleep in on Saturday morning until around 9:30 a.m., and then go for a killer long walk/jog in anticipation and training for an upcoming marathon. It all made sense. For the last month or so, with the exception of when a friend was in town for my birthday, I'd worked every weekend, so I was really looking forward to the extra sleep and time in bed. Then, disaster (well, sort of).
At approximately 7:00 a.m. the trucks started rolling in, and by 8:00 a.m. it was a full-blown staging area for the Circle City Classic Parade. From my bedroom window, at 8:30 firckin a.m, Saturday morning:
If you can't beat em, join em, I say. With 100,000 people lining the streets of downtown Indy for the Circle City Classic Parade, I figured 'what the heck,' rather than hit the Monon Trail for a walk/jog, why not adjust my plans and take on the whole 'it's a great day for a parade' attitude. And it actually was a great day for a parade. It was crisp and cool enough outside to sip hot chocolate in between bites of a hotdog.
Ahh, the joys of living along Indianapolis' downtown parade route.

Nice "alarm" on a Saturday morning. At least it was entertaining. Who won the game? And, I agree, fall is a great time to be outside in the crisp air, sipping hot chocolate.
