Riding the merry-go-round

Tomorrow is "Carousel Day." I choose to believe that this refers to the merry-go-rounds that people love to ride and not the musical of the same name.  It's not my favorite musical but I do like the ride.  I was having lunch today in the food court at the mall, in sight of the carousel installed there.  The friend I was lunching with, who works in the food court, was talking with another cleaning person there who mentioned that yesterday they had a busload of senior citizens stop at the food court.  She mentioned that, as a group, senior citizens are much nicer and easier to clean up after than a group of teens.  Tbat was good to hear since I'm a member of the first group.  The cleaning lady also mentioned that some of the group rode the carousel. My friend, who is only 28, seemed amazed that SCs would do anything as wild and admittedly childish as riding on a merry-go-round.  I assured her that I would, but I really didn't have time today.  Sadly, I won't be at the mall tomorrow, so my ride may need to wait until next year on July25.
