The front row seats are cool though. Sleep is overrated, I keep telling myself. A Stealth Bomber supposedly flew over the parade. I couldn&#8217;t see it, so I just pointed my camera at the sky and hoped for the best. Where is it? I could hear it. Now that&#8217;s stealthy! Every year that I&#8217;ve gone to the parade I end up with way too many tuba photos. Tuba&#8217;s make great photographs. I&#8217;ve never shot a bad tuba photo. They&#8217;re very photogenic. Regis is waved at me! I was so excited I couldn&#8217;t hold the camera still&#8230; right. So, what&#8217;s the big deal with him?  Post parade, we all cattled back to our cars along with Jesus, cancer therapies and tires.
