Once again, we watched the Rose Parade on KTLA, but since I worked yesterday, we DVRed it, and watched it when I got home. I was happy to once again see the son of a former patient on a float of his design, with his macaw, riding and waving. It helps connect me to this event. One of my patient's grandsons was marching with a band, and though I wouldn't have known him had I seen him, this, too, connected me with the parade. Finally, one of the doctors I work with was apparently there...he emailed me a phone camera photo as a band marched by. Nice...
