As opposed to night which will be coming soon enough.
Most of my regular readers know that I look on Holiday blogging as a public service. Many times I need a distraction while I’m working or an excuse to get away from the crowd. That’s difficult when schedules are disrupted and regular habits and outlets are unavailable.
So I put these little research projects up to inform you of special events of interest and alternatives to absent activities.
Additionally today we’ll have special coverage of Big Balloon Parades and three Throwball games and as the weekend progresses other Holiday sports including the final Formula One of the season from Interlagos.
