Turkey Day!

Actually, I'm cool with lasagna for Thanksgiving, so whatever you like to eat, enjoy.

Got the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on the ol' flat panel.  Actually, it's on nearly every TV in the house, so that way we don't miss anything as we go from room to room.

They've been doing the parade for 86 years.  I still remember Underdog as one of the floats.  I doubt they have him anymore, but they're going to have Kermit the Frog.  Kermie first appeared in the parade in 1977.

Yes, I'm still a big kid at heart.

They just had the cast of Annie performing a few minutes ago.  It's been playing for 35 years!

Oh, cool, just saw the Charlie Brown balloon drifting by -- he's still trying to kick the football.  And, the Rockettes are doing their thing.  They haven't aged a bit.  Flawless as ever.

Here are a few Macy's Day factoids.

It first cranked up back in November 27th, 1924.

The first TV broadcast of the parade was 1948.

And, now, a tip o' the hat to some balloons of the past, retired but not forgotten -- the Tin Man from The Wizard of Oz; the Cat in the Hat; and, the Sinclair Oil dinosaur, now extinct.

Signing off for now to finish watching the parade.

'til next time... Adios.
