No Flea This Weekend, Back on November 9

We'd like to try to 'run' out of the house early and be away from FG a good part of the day. The din from the marathon and the general energy, though amusing at times, is a bit oppressive. Short of repulsion/attraction...trying to sit eating brunch and ignore the constant drone but getting up to report to the Husband Unit this group or that group is now going by. I can't help myself. But honestly, looking down on all that movement is kind of dizzying.

I used to like it after the marathon when Lafayette was car-free for a long time and the neighborhood would get out and dance and enjoy in the street. Teenagers would often do big group line dancing...very cute. Last year I don't think there was any. Bill and Whats-her-Name down the street who, each year, have an open house and a DJ and speakers set up outside had the police to contend with last year. The music was either shut down or so low nobody could hear it. I wonder what they'll do this year.
