THE CEREMONY


The ceremony has begun. I'm watching CNN. The invocation has been given and Lady Aretha is about to sing. Her performance is stirring of course. (I love her hat, that's a real "church" hat.) Joe Biden's middle name is Robinette, did you know that. "Air and Simple Gifts", the musical interlude. is beautiful, it sounds so hopeful. It's now noon and BARACK OBAMA IS OUR NEW PRESIDENT!!!! The inaugural speech is powerful and inspiring, given by a man who appears confident and ready to accept his challenges. Our new president is challenging US, "get up and dust yourself off". "America is ready to lead once more". Wow, what strong messages our new president is sending to our friends and enemies around the world!!

Well, ok, we'll still take him. :)
