That's me in the cow suit, at a Fourth of July parade in 1991. I waved the sign and got most of the neighborhood to scream "MOOOO!" from their front yards. It was great. Plus, if I remember correctly, my friend and I won second prize. We probably got a $10 gift certificate to Hasting's Records, or something like that.
This year I won't be doing anything nearly as ambitious (or profitable). I'll probably get up late, make a couple of icebox pies, grill with friends, and watch some fireworks. I hope you have fun too.
