Minneapolis has a great May Day parade. It's one of the events that makes me proud to be from this state and today was Johan's first one. The weather was perfect and he actually seemed to pay attention to the different costumes and dancers. He particularly seemed to enjoy the drums.
The highlight for me was when Congressman Keith Ellison (our Congressman, first Muslim Congressman in the U.S. House of Representatives, and the subject of my only letter to the editor that has ever been published) came up to us and we had our picture taken with him! His staff photographer took a picture which I am hoping will show up in his quarterly newsletter to his constituents. Ev also took a picture of us with Keith on her camera, which I will post once it is downloaded.
All in all a perfect spring (almost summer?) day.
Also, there were some anarchists on double- and triple-tall bicycles. And some hippies smoking pot and burning sage. It was May Day.

Whatever. We all know you were the one on the tall bicycle smoking a doobie. Get a job, hippie!
