I thought Obama gave an excellent inauguration speech today (well, the parts that I heard were excellent, anyway. We were having a picnic lunch in the living room while it was going on, and things got a bit out of hand . . .
I do wish I would have been able to have gone, but really, standing in the freezing cold in a huge crowd (I don't like huge crowds, probably partly because I am 4'10 so I'm at the average man's arm-pit level) did not sound too appealing to me, plus the fact that it would have been near to impossible to get into the city today. Apparently there were about 5,000 Port-A-Potties for 5 million people (on the radio they said to bring your own toilet paper). Anyway, I am glad that traffic and everything will be back to normal soon.
