FOR THE BIRDS
How long is the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade? Only 2.65 miles?? Are you sure?
What made me agree to walk the entire route? I think I’m two inches shorter, because my feet are worn off right up to the ankle. Some little girl almost tripped me, and then made off with one of my plumes. If I’d had feet, I’d have kicked her right in the….spectator section.
Next year I wear roller skates and hold onto the float. I’m going to have a hot bath and go to bed. Be sure to wake me – in time to open Christmas presents.

Dear Archon,
I felt this ‘bird’s’ pain. Love the voice.
Shalom,

I feel like that after a round of the supermarket on shopping day. A fun story.

I think a lot of us are getting to that point. I recently told someone that my idea of exercise is a good, brisk sit…..c/w cocoa and cookies. 😯

I got tired just reading about it. Not a good idea. Well done. 🙂 — Suzanne

I was actually surprised to find the Macy’s parade route was that short. Our own local Thanksgiving/Oktoberfest parade runs (well, walks) just over 5 miles. Our daughter did it twice when she was in a marching band. 😀

That was an interesting and oblique take on the prompt! I enjoyed it immensely. Very I gather from the above remarks that you are tired of participating in such long walking events.
These lines, “Some little girl almost tripped me, and then made off with one of my plumes. If I’d had feet, I’d have kicked her right in the….spectator section,” are very, very funny!

Why thank you kind Dreamer! I’ve done FFs about obesity and quitting smoking, and recently did one about a sexual predator, but mostly I just like to look at situations from a skewed, humorous angle. 😆
