Our family was not together during the time of the inauguration, but when we gathered at the end of the day we all commented on how we had thought about you being in that great crowd. The five of us agreed that it felt like you were representing us during such an important moment for our country. We were glad that you and Julia got up early, braved the cold and made it there.<BR/><BR/>Peace and cheers,<BR/>JohnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7510706114690492409.post-54332106107049886222009-01-24T16:27:00.000-06:002009-01-24T16:27:00.000-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7510706114690492409.post-53712764493989556172009-01-20T22:33:00.000-06:002009-01-20T22:33:00.000-06:00Julia's nose looks cold.

You could have heard the proverbial pin drop, pretty amazing in a crowd so large.<BR/><BR/>GHW Bush won the best hat contest, hands down. His son looked ... same as always. Mean. Confused. His mouth was closed, so it must have been one of those rare moments when he wasn't telling a lie, except perhaps to himself: "Ah've been a good preznit. Ah brought peace to the women of cover in Eye-rak."<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you booed Pelosi. You know how I feel about her.<BR/><BR/>One of my friends at school was saying today, "If Obama respects and restores the Constitution, that will be plenty." I find myself thinking a lot of those, "If he just ... that will be good." The long and the short of it is, he probably WILL disappoint, he HAS disappointed already, but there are so many places where he can make a huge difference. It will definitely not be the same as it has been. I'm breathing a little freer. <BR/><BR/>See you when you return!Suzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14333782408387579016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7510706114690492409.post-79399257197127693202009-01-20T16:50:00.000-06:002009-01-20T16:50:00.000-06:00Even on TV, it was pretty moving.

Yes, there were a few moments during the speech that made me squirm, and I expect there will be many disappointments in the next four to eight years, but it was a moving event nonetheless. The sight of Bush getting in the helicopter and leaving was pretty awesome, too. You'll have to tell me more about it when you get back.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04936679109203808216noreply@blogger.com
