Woo-hoo! Tournament of Roses Parade!
Watching it right now...

I'm glad Pasadena kept their New Year's parade. Dallas used to have the Cotton Bowl Parade, too, but our City Council killed it as a budget-cutting measure, I think. Waah.

1. I love this parade!
Are you watching on HGTV? No commercials -- and they talk about the floats and bands, not superfluous crap.

3. Thank you for that.
I was watching on a couple o' channels - didn't know it was on HGTV - thanks. It's kind of nice to see it in the rain, isn't it?

4. The rain is amazing!
I can't remember seeing it rain on the Rose Parade -- a little drizzly now and then, but this is a deluge. I love the bands and the horses -- oh heck, and the floats and everything else.

I'm impressed they're having it. Good for them.

6. cool
I love this parade. My husband and son are singularly non-plussed, however.

9. I'm at work and I can't watch it!!
It is my favorite parade and it's just not right to be at work. I caught a glimpse of the mermaid float as I passed a TV - gorgeous!!
