You people should be ashamed of mocking the Southwest Airlines presents the Mummers Parade. I agree. You people should be ashamed of mocking the Southwest Airlines presents the Mummers Parade.

Don't mock it until you understand it. The meaning that it has to the families that attend as well as join is unknown to most. Each year walking down 2nd street reminds me of the family members who are not there to join me, due to death or illness. It is my way of remembering my family and what my grandparents believed in, such as an open house, anyone one cold and in need of food walked right in, Family the entire clan who go to my grandparents house to watch the parade and walk on second. Since life becomes busy and we distance ourself from what ever reason from each other, isn't good that people come together once more.

My dad is from there and told me stories that he probably shouldn't have. To me it is like being given a choice between Pabst Blue Ribbon ($.50) and Sam Adams Utopias ($100). I can't afford Sam Adams but I am not going to buy Pabst either. And yes, I am a bitter, bitter man. I never been there…I can’t afford it either.

Apparently folksonomies can do everything, so I'm sure they can lead you to refreshments. Raul, thanks for the suggestions. I finished up <em>Angel of Darkness</em> recently and liked it overall--very entertaining, even though the ending was a bit over the top (that whole thing with Roosevelt?). Did the Mummers scare you as a child? Type E, here is some info about folksonomies. Apparently folksonomies can do everything, so I’m sure they can lead you to refreshments.

I think that the first one, "The Alienist", was just a little bit better. Enjoy... I noticed that the book that you are currently reading is “The Angle of Darkness” by Caleb Carr, great book.
