True fact from the front lines of tonight’s bitterly cold Holiday DeLight Parade:

It is impossible to march, smile, wave, execute an occasional chaîné and maintain a credible façade of a paragon-of-masculinity dancing lumberjack when you have a full-diluvian runny nose. But at least my new button stayed on.

Technically, I’ll be a LumberJake

I’m going to be a traditional Dancing Christmas Lumberjack in one of Cedar Rapids’ very few lighted parades tonight, which means you’re going to come watch the time-honored holiday tradition of the Lighting of the Dancing Christmas Lumberjack, right? Of course you are.

(Truth be told, I’ve been needing to sew a button back on my red plaid shirt for a while now, so I’m really only doing the parade to force myself to catch up on my mending. So if for no other reason, you should come watch the parade to see my newly reattached button. (It’s the second one down.))

Remember when I didn't even pretend to be subtle about taking flexy selfies?

Me neither.
