I think the most pleasant thing I heard all week, having had to miss the inauguration, was on the radio when the announcer/commentator said “President Barack Obama”. What a euphoric moment.

I also note that I have had to add the words “Barack” and “Obama” to my dictionary.

The rest of us who stayed in Raleigh were snowed in, so we had our own inauguration parties with close-by neighbors and friends. Just think, all the kids who went to DC missed the first good snow here in more than a couple years. Quite a choice, but they have all said it was worth it.

Great update, thanks….

Great eyes and ears for us - thanks! I had to WORK, but found time through the day to check things out, and then watched replays many times over.

I think the best part about all of this is that, although there are high expectations for our collective future, you are in the vast majority in recognizing the hard work ahead. He has a lot to live up to, but he has the talent, and hopefully the team, to get some good stuff done.

And to have a thoughtful, eloquent, measured, and enthusiastic young man at the healm and on the world stage...ahhhh.
