If you'd lost Celine instead of Jesse, would your heart still go on without her?

> The plan worked out fine today. We had no problems trespassing all over the parade preparation area. It was more fun than standing still and watching a parade pass by. We lost Jessie near the helium balloon parade floats, hope he is not in jail all by himself. We posed for photos with the DC Roller Girls Derby League, who also skated officially in the parade.
> 
> My accomplices were: Jessie, George, Soren, Caitlin, Celine, and Crystal.

> Thanks to participating skaters for making it a very fun morning.

> Meet at 9am at the White House, 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, on the 4th of July.
> 
> Finish at 11:05 am after visiting the place where the Independence Parade preparations are taking place.
> 
> Parade begins at 11:45, so you have plenty of time to towel-off, change shirt, and put on shoes if you want to stay & watch that.
> 
> There is an advanced skate beginning at 11:15, so you can give that a try also (either all of it or just a few miles).
> 
> Along the way we will also see U street, the Metropolitan Branch Bike Trail, Gentrified part of H Street NE, Rock & Roll Hotel, and Eastern Market.
> 
> It is a relatively easy route, only 10 miles, without any really big hills.
