Inauguration Day

Today is all about Barack Obama and his inauguration. Today he becomes this nation's 44th President. It should be an exciting day to see all the events unfold. Of course it will be a bittersweet day for President Bush and his wife, Laura, and they leave to head back to Texas. But Washington is all a buzz about the inauguration. Millions of people are expected to be in attendance, although I don't know how much most of them will be able to see. I guess a lot of people will like to be able to say that they were there. It will also be interesting to see how many people use this occasion to go into work late, or work from home if they can. If those not lucky enough to do that have access to the internet (without being blocked by IT) they can catch parts of it on their computers at their desks and workstations. Needless to say, there will be hundreds of soundbites, video clips, and UTube posts, with the most important or moving parts of the ceremony, and inaugural balls to follow in the evening. My prayers go out to him and his wife, Michelle, as they embark on this journey for the next 4 years. I hope his plans, policies, and ideas will help heal this country and those hurting by the current recession and aftermath of last year's stock market crash. All eyes are on you, President Obama. The first 100 days and beyond begins today! Enjoy this moment, the real work begins tomorrow! Now then, what did the kids do with the remote?
