Yes, it was that time of year again to watch the Millville New Jersey Thanksgiving Parade. First though we celebrated Densie's Birthday at our house and then went to eat at Peking Tokyo Restaurant. We had seats next to a window so we could watch the end of the parade. It was a good chow for sure. We then walked home and I then returned back to watch the parade and hang out at Sitar Bob's place where he was serving Turkey and other vittles. I did get to see the Center City Millville Float and it was one of the better ones. Of course, Santa was there at the end of the Parade. At Sitar
Center City Millville Float
Bob's, I got to watch the Beatles Magical Mystery Tour. THAT is one strange yet very entertaining movie for sure! I really liked I am the Walrus and this song that had the words Death Cab for Cutie came from. Now I know where that band Death Cab for Cutie got its name. WXPN plays them alot or used to. I got to see some film shorts from September Shorts film festival that Sitar Bob showed several years at Zelphys'. One was called Life in Transistion and the other was called Chad Vader: Day Shift Manager They were fun to see again. The folks were pretty cool there at Bobs. One even wrote about me in Facebook which was pretty silly. I then at the end of the evening talking computers and being a bit paranoid. Well, the holiday is winding down and it got pretty cold as the night went on. It was to be out and see folks I do not see that often. Well got to go now. Its going to be a buzy next few days.
Its a serious tennis ball kind of morning and afternoon that is for sure. Its cloudy and it started to rain 2hr ago but now it stopped in time for the Millville Thanksgiving Parade. The kids are coming over in about an hour (e.g 3pm). I did some errands like go to Staples to get a printer cartridge so I can print out statements.
Some serious stuff going on!
Wire Baskets for the Holiday... Why not??
When I was flying to and from Oakland California, I somehow managed to AVOID the body scans and the check on my junk. All I had to do was to take off my shoes and empty out my pockets. I guess I was lucky or I just am so non-threatening that they did not bother. The TSA has pissed off EVERYBODY from Palin lovers to pissed of liberals mad at Obama. I think they will be forced to modify their procedures.
I hope to be at the Millville New Jersey Parade. When family comes over, we will probably got to the Peking Tokyo to go out or just order out and eat at home. I think I will indulge in a cold Miller Light before then.
Our New Sign of the Times
The video below shows what a plain ole day its been thus far.
This year we just stayed at home and slowly worked on some household projects. Oh, of course, I walked the dogs and hit the Shoprite which was the only store open in the mall today. My Mother was at my brother's house in Maryland and I guess my other brother living close by went to Boston or someplace kinda far as is the custom. I did some work in the office which was where we had our dressing room and a roomate for a spell.
Its been hectic since my trip from Oakland and Berkley California. Work was buzy of course and I had an active pet sitting schedule this past week. The 2 days I took on the Route 408 were eventful as you have all seen in my previous post. I was so tired after getting up so early for Monday and Tuesday. This short video shows just a portion. I noticed they are renovating Clark Park and Sams at 45th Street between Osage and Pine is not called Sams. There is a park at 48th and Chester called Squirrel Hill Falls. It's pretty but gated up and seemly NEVER open to the public. It has some impressive funders but what is it there for?
Its better then an abandoned lot so it does serve that purpose. Its had a long history since about 1985 when it was first proposed to be built. The Philadelphia City Paper has a good article on it dating from June of 1996. You can see the list of contributors to this park on the 48th Street side.
An Interesting event will be taking place on Weds December 8th at the Varga Bar on Spruce Street is having a Calender Release Party. Should be interesting if I have the time and $$ to have a $6 beer. Check out the announcement. Its pretty flashy for sure.
I turned on the TV and saw the Cowboys about to win against the Saints but Roy Williams fumbled the ball and the Saints beat the Cowboys 30-27. The Cowboys Kicker just missed a 59 yard field goal which would have tied the game.
Hope to attend the Millville Thanksgiving Parade this year, but I am not sure how the family schedule will work out. We are having our Thanksgiving Dinner tomorrow on Friday. Well got to sleep tonite. Bye.
I am driving to work and I am so TIRED. Went to bed at 8pm and still tired as hell. Well, a buzy day at the Welfare Wakka and food shopping this am. Well, got to fly. Have a great Thanksgiving y'all.
