I am always very impressed by kids in marching bands. It's hard work! I did it for a year and just wasn't very good at it.

I am one of those people who can't walk and chew gum at the same time, so I'd probably be terrible at it! Fortunately, my high school did not have a marching band, so I never had to try.

Just found this clip of my daughters' marching band from last year. They are not nearly as polished as the band in the clip Barry posted (not even close), but thought I'd share it anyway. After 30 seconds, they actually DO start marching.

They look sharp Kathy! I love their uniforms.

Uniform? That's how I dress daily.

Aw, thanks; I think they look pretty good, too! It's ironic that you mentioned the uniforms; I detest them! That's mostly because just the sight of the uniform yanks me back to a horrible trip to Colonial Williamsburg back when I was about 10. The family had gone to Virginia Beach for a week. My sister and I got horrible (think lobster-hued) sunburns the first day because we'd applied sunscreen only once in the morning and then spent the entire day in the pool. (This was back in the late 70s.) Do you think my parents would have just let us rest inside the next day? Noooo...they took us to Williamsburg in 90-degree heat and marched us around the entire day. I ended up in the ER with sun poisoning.

Wild horses could never drag me back to Colonial Williamsburg!

So, I see those band uniforms and cringe, LOL. Everyone else in town loves them, too; I'm the lone standout.

Have a good one US of A. Good luck with your elections this year. Hope it works out better than our ones down here.

Good! She should get herself a Boston Terrier like the ones we used to have. I used to sing I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy to them, with a few word changes. I think they liked it; I know the kids seemed to. That was back when the kids still liked to hear their mom sing.

She had two Yorkshire Terriers over the years. Each lived to be very old and, typical of Yorkies, developed severe GI problems and had to be euthanized. I don't think she'll ever get another dog.

Yorkies are sweet little dogs. One of my online friends that I met years ago on the AOL Boston Terrier board has them. I always thought it would be nice to feel that silky-looking hair. I finally got a chance when a lady brought one into the library. I wasn't disappointed! But I understand how Sharon feels. It seems to get more difficult every time I go through it, like I did in January.

And she had to do that twice. Both dogs were cute and nice little girls with the sweetest personalities. She never wants to go through that again.
