Well, not exactly. But we did make our presence known in somewhat of a community protest.
That's right. Macy has gotten me involved in the politics of our neighborhood. We attended, or at least we attempted to attend, a Gateway Services CDD meeting this evening (this was Macy 2nd "protest" meeting this week). You see, the board has decided that Gateway (the subdivision we live in) needs a 7.5 million dollar park. Now that's a pretty fancy park! Well, we arrived early to the meeting tonight, but because about 200 other people showed up in protest we couldn't get inside the building. So we stood outside with our "Stop the Park" buttons on, hoping to do something, anything.
Finally we heard over a speaker placed outside someone from the opposition reading a statement of concern. We then heard one of the board members addressing the issue. This is the only time it even felt like a protest, when there were a few boos while he spoke. The whole thing lasted about 20 minutes, the board closed the meeting and the crowd began to disperse. (FYI-This made the local news tonight. Must be a very slow night for local news.)
Finally - congrats to Sabra for winning "So You Think You Can Dance." She was my pick to win starting back about 4 weeks ago.

The mental image of you and Macy at a protesting meeting has gotten my day off to a great start. Very funny!
