Before the Parade passes by...

I once again marched with my chorus in the Palm Springs Gay Pride parade today, Sunday. It was fun, but seemed even longer than last year. Alan had to cancel at the last minute as Joel hurt his back and I guess they couldn't leave Esteban unattended. It all worked out. I was so hungry and tired when I got to Ramon Rd, that I just turned around and went back to my car which was parked almost at Ruth Hardy park. Had a good lunch, napped, and made a new batch of split pea soup for the week. I added a half cup of barley to it, and that really made it thick. I think it might be one of the best that I have made. I'm catching up with my laundry now, and then I get to look forward to spending some time with Brook, my friend from SLC. He called Friday night to let me know he is in town for a week. He wants to meet me after chorus on Tuesday, which means karaoke at Streetbar. He also wants to go out, probably for dinner and drinks, again later in the week. Friday or Saturday would be good as I can stay out as late as necessary, if the occasion calls for it. I do enjoy spending time with him.
