My brother in law is the director of Lakota West H.S. from Westchester, Ohio. They just left this morning for So. Cal. to march in the Rose Parade. And its a family affair, as my son is a member of the Ohio State University Marching Band and will follow a few days later with a trip to New Orleans and the BCS Championship game.

BTW, I hope Sheehan embarrasses herself again. It's good for our cause.

Welcome to Pasadena, you Ohioans. We have fairly warm weather (well, for Ohio), clear skies, great coffee, SUN and the Blue Line is all painted and ready. I think it has been into the 30s at night, tho. High 30s.

It’s a great parade to be IN and to watch in person. The bands are all wonderful, the horses are beautiful, everyone is so amped and ready to celebrate. The floats will be beautiful, and the view against the mountains is wonderful. A good time of year to visit. Welcome, welcome.

Your brother-in-law is going to have an experience he’ll never forget, marching in the Rose Parade. I marched in the 1987 parade with my H.S. band and it’s quite amazing and tiring. It’s a five mile route. I fell near the end of it after tripping on a street reflector.
