Detroit Moxie's Weekend Roundup

Friendly Reminder! On Sunday, March 13 at 2 a.m., Daylight Saving Time begins in the United States. Turn your clocks ahead one hour. Yes, we lose an hour of sleep. I hate that part. On the bright side, we gain an hour of sunlight in the evenings. [Pun intended.]

The Stormtroopers marching in the 2009 parade. Look how warm it was!
