If they would have had it today it would not have rained on it.

The weather did its part as usual -- a break for the parade time. The idiots who changed the schedule for no good reason just screwed everything up.

It's tomorrow for some reason that I'm sure is completely pathetic.

And the Rose bowl is weds, so I can't watch it with my family.

BTW: I've tried to explain to my adult kids that the TV Guide used to mean what it said. IF something was listed in that little magazine, it occurred. Today, I can't figure a reason to get one.

It seems when the parade first began the organizers made an agreement with the churches on Colorado Blvd. that they would never hold the parade on Sunday and they’ve kept that agreement. Still, on Sunday it didn’t rain.

And I’m so mad about Stephanie Edwards being stuck out in the rain – the interplay between her and Bob Eubanks is a tradition and the main reason I watched over the years. A new perky younger woman now sits beside Bob—while Stephanie risks pneumonia on the street—and I no longer have a reason to watch KTLA.

Those "idiots" have probably all been dead awhile.No one did this just to ruin our comfy 2006 New Year.We'll live.

Why are the Tournament celebrations sometimes held on January 2?

* The Tournament of Roses is a tradition full of traditions, one of which is our “Never on Sunday” policy. In 1893, officials decided to move the parade to Monday, January 2 to avoid frightening horses tethered outside local churches and thus interfering with worship services. As a result of this reverent gesture, speculation abounds as to the rare instances of rainfall on New Year’s Day (only nine times in Rose Parade history), prompting some to ask the Tournament about its special pact with a “friend upstairs.” Also as a result of this tradition, other collegiate bowl organizations have instituted similar procedures. The upcoming Rose Parade is on Monday, January 2, 2006 in observance of the Never on Sunday tradition.
