mayday mayhem

today was the mayday parade - crows galore and blue rabbits populated bloomington avenue.  what i like best are the hardtimes bike crew.  the children danced to every musical event that passed them by and chased mini tootsie rolls thrown their way.  breakfast at joanie and kevins started off the morning - after running a trunk load of recyclables to savers and then a 15 minute drive to pick up a grandchild - the one who looks at me with eyes that read:  not you again.   ah, yes, child, me again.  she danced to the street music and laughed at the monkeys with their blue butts - maybe you needed to have been at the parade to appreciate this post.  a major meltdown at the end which culminated with an under-the-arm take-away to the carseat.  then for me, an afternoon party at an old hotel that way back in the day housed st. pauls pimps and pros but is now home to swank.  how the times change.
