I picked up Henrietta on Saturday morning and chatted with her as I fiddled with my new camcorder. No one knew just what to expect; the parade had not been widely advertised.

Everyone seemed amazed by the 20,000 people who crowded Ocean Drive to see and be seen. It was another glorious Miami day and there was no shortage of color.

The birthday/pride weekend was a magical success (although some of us are suffering some pain). Next stop: Leopold's birthday in June.
