#17 I Love a Parade

This year, I'm going to spend 31 days writing about places.  In my profession, I talk about place-based writing quite a bit.  I frame it like this when I share:  We believe in the power of including spaces in the process of writing.  Place-based writing is the concept that the place where we write may influence our thinking, impacting the writer’s perspective, engagement, ownership, and/or purpose.  I'm really jazzed up, thinking about where I will spend time as a writer in 31 different spaces this month and how I can use each post to share a little slice of my day. 

Today, the St. Pat's parade in StL.

We left out for breakfeast at 9.  Just home at 5.  I guess I spent a work day at the parade.

 Strangely, I do not know this area of StL well.  This is only my second year at the parade/after-party.  We wandered around and nothing looked familiar.  Yet, the chaos did.

Good chaos.  Saw a band.  Laughed and sang.  The drummer gave me his drumsticks and my buddy got me a shirt with a dog on it.  

I'm more inspired to drink water and eat dinner than to write tonight.  Lol.  I'll be better tomorrow.  

Do something green today and happy slicing :)
