76 Trombones

So I am sitting in my office this afternoon when I hear this awful banging noise. It kind of sounded like someone was crawling around in the ducts. Except that it sounded like it was coming from outside. And I could not fathom what would be making that noise outside.

When I looked out the window I discovered a marching band down below. Apparently the banging was from the bass drums. There was a parade, right under my window. How did I not know about this? I guess I should have been clued in by all of the touristy looking people down in the food court at lunch.

So for the next two hours I got to hear about a thousand marching bands and fire trucks pass by. (Seriously, how many marching bands can one freaking parade have?) Do you know how hard it is to analyze a 50 page contract with a parade passing below your window? In case you have never had the joy of that experience, it is kind of distracting.
