Is it a parade for the Yankees? If so, aren't New Yorkers used to them winning the Series by now? I would think it would be so old hat that a parade would be silly.

(Most of that comment was sarcasm, but not all.)

However, as a resident of a city where we don't do parades like that (no, not even when the Reds swept back in 1990), I have to admit that your pictures are really charming to me. It just seems like a cool thing to do (a ticker-tape parade), in a general sense.

You know, I just too much pleasure in sending an email that basically said "No, you can't pat yourself on the back for all the work I've done, because, by the way, the reason it won't get finished is because you never did what you were supposed to!"

I may have issues with this team.

Yes, it's for the Yankees; they do it every time there's a championship; yes, it's silly.

I'm mostly pissed because I can't get to my 12:15 therapy appointment.

We are having the dreaded "wintry mix," as you Americans like to call it. I have been at work for 3.5 hours and my pants are still wet. Fortunately, there is a puppy here, and pizza is on the way.

In theory, ticker-tape parades are awesome. However, I would have gladly skipped this one if it meant fewer douchebags in Yankees shirts on my morning commute.

My boss is totally at that parade. She said she'd be out of the office for a half-hour. Yeah, I doubt it.

Neat!

I remember those.

Today is already being a DAY. Isaac has pink eye and my MiL has some doctor appts, so poor DH is dragging pink eyed boy to the hospital. Not a good set up.

Can folks please cross fingers that MiL's brain scan results come back negative? We're already looking at not so good results elsewhere and would rather not be battling on two fronts.

Timelies all!
