Thank heavens for Elle’s 5th birthday parade.
Elle is my granddaughter Claire’s bestie.
Elle is a bright but not Cardinal red Teddy Bear.
The proceedings were set for mid Saturday afternoon. My presence was commanded. A joyous order, to be sure.
Except that it coincided with Louisville Cardinals’ regular season closer against the ‘Canes.
Then again, this time around, it came as a blessing. An escape from the escape that is my fealty to Louisville sports.
So, instead of yelling at my TV screen, instead of screaming over Sean Moth’s call on the way to the Saint Matthews Parade Grounds, I was hanging with Claire.
