A friend invited me to join her and some others at a Dragon Dance on Saturday (today). I thought about it and got the general idea of the location. I did not get an address. So, today with enough time, I went downtown in the neighborhood she described. I drove right past the set up. I did not see any dragons. I drove around some more and then called her. She did not answer so I called another person invited. I got the call back after I had gotten back home. "Sure come on down. Looks like it will be fun."
Now equipped with the address--at least the intersection--I raced back downtown only to find out when I got there that I had missed the actual celebration of the dance. I say celebration because they explained that is was not a performance, but a celebration. My friend, Janie, asked the leader if I could at least see the costume. Two of the boys inhabited the dragon and showed me how it moved. I was thankful.
