I spent this morning in downtown Raleigh. I met with about 20 other folks at Raleigh Segway (located in City Market) where we all donned our Santa hats and boarded Segways all spiffed up with bows, bells, ribbons, gift boxes, and other assorted embellishments to participate in the south's largest Christmas parade. We glided (e.g. slang for riding a Segway) to the parade assembly area where we awaited our turn in the parade. Finally, we were off - sandwiched in between a school band and a horse-drawn stagecoach. What a hoot it was gliding down the street in our planned serpentine motion, occasionally stopping to do quick 360s or other stunts, all the time waving to the crowds of kids and adults and exchanging Christmas greetings. We were even featured on the local TV station's coverage of the parade. All to soon, it was over. What a fun experience! Happy Holidays to one and all!
