I'd be at loose ends, too, if I were told not to bring anything. I mean, what else do you do those few days before Turkey Day???

As for the parade....hope you're practicing your wave:

Well, that's helpful, but I doubt the weather will permit me to wear what those girls are wearing! (On the other hand, it might bring the whole thing to an abrupt halt). The main thing is to exercise self-control while tossing candy to the gathered throng of parade-wathcers, as I might be tempted to zing Tootsie Pops at their heads, being the mean-spirited Republican I am.
