Parades and marching bands

Got up with Pugs at 6:30am, only to realize that the pilot light had gone out on the heater sometime during the night. After letting out/feeding all the dogs, I got huddled on the sofa with the Pugs, and sort of went to sleep awhile. Husband went in the attic when he got up and re-lit the pilot. Relief.

I'm wanting to feel good and warm, because later on, oldest daughter and I are going to watch a Christmas parade in an area nearby---sort of small-town-ish. I adore marching bands, that's my favorite part with parades--not sure where that comes from, and get such a rush from hearing them perform in person. We live near the university, and in the Fall and Winter, can hear the band perform outside when the wind is right. Jot that down as a little-known fact about me. ;)

Which brings to mind the Fleetwood Mac song Tusk from way back when. Gary was online while we were talking about the parade last night, and pulled up a YouTube with them playing with the UCLA marching band. He said I used to love this song...didn't remember at first, but he's right. The only problem is that the band is hardly audible. They look cool, though.
