Far from the Madding Crowd

Not too proud to admit that we hop on the bandwagon for local sports teams, we attended the first San Francisco Giants championship parade in 2010.

The enthusiasm for 2022's Golden State Warriors title was equally strong, but, as we noted last week, a lot can happen in ten or twelve years.

The members of our household have various COVID-19 co-morbidities, and optional gatherings such as today's Warriors parade are off-limits.

Weighing benefits and costs--and abiding by the results of that analysis--is a sign of maturity, but a part of me misses the younger person who was more of a risk-taker.

The consolation is that videorecording technology is improving substantially every year, and now I have nine hours of parade footage to watch over the next several days.
