Parade of the Men of the Year in Jan's absense

While Jan is in the US I took Kabouter to the parade of the "Men of the year" anyhow even though Jan clearly couldn't participate this year. Kabouter loved to go and watch all the "boom boom boom" (the marching bands) and was even more delighted that there were trucks and old-timers going along as well.  Afterwards we had a drink and grabbed a bite together with some of the other men of 72, so we represented Jan a little bit.
