I have lived in Southern California for nearly 50 years yet I have never actually seen the 'famous' Pasadena Rose Parade live and in-person.

Ahh, quiet and convenient. Heck, even if I had slept in on New Years morning, I could always catch the re-runs that are shown throughout the day.

The last week of July was a scorcher and I didn't want to spend another weekend running up my 'out of control' utility bill.

I chose the beach ;)
