Forward, March!

I love a parade! Favorite song, “Me name is MacNamara, I’m the leader of the band . . . It’s Hennessy Pennesy Tootin the Flute, and the music is somethin’ grand”.

So how disappointed was I to watch “the greatest parade ever” as it fizzled across the evening news with nary a note of stirring music and featured groups of shuffling recruits watched by half empty bleachers and a yawning Secretary of State? Pathetic.
