Greenville Avenue Parade Getting Closer …

And it’s supposed to be 67 and sunny. Are you as excited about it as Tim is? I doubt it, since Tim wrote his column about the GA St. Patrick’s Day parade in this month’s print version of FrontBurner. Are you as excited about it as I am? Doubtful, unless you, too, had this uncomfortable exchange with your wife on Sunday:

Wife: This weekend is not going to be one of those Greenville Avenue parades where you disappear and come home sometime after dark.

Me: Um, wait, let me check. Why, yes. Yes it is.

Wife: What are [our daughter] and I going to do?

Me: Um … try to keep up?

Weird that she didn’t laugh.

Solution? I started planning a vacation I can’t afford to Mexico for the whole family. Small price to pay for some extra leash. See you Saturday.

  3. A few years ago, I took my sister to the parade. After watching one strip club float after another strip club float, my sister turned to me:

    “We’re Irish, right?”

    “Yep, Andrew Jesse came over through Ellis Island.”

    “I don’t want to be Irish anymore.”

    I tried to explain to her that the Irish were not responsible for Baby Dolls.
