Long road for whomever was elected but at least it's change, and a generational change, it was time.

So they're in the motorcade for 2+ hours after a big lunch. I wonder if there's a bathroom in that car. Two adults and two kids...seems like someone would need to go.

They made a bad movie based on the book called Windtalkers. As is usually the case, the book was tons better than the flick.

Pomp and Circumstance.

Did we not break free of England?
Achhh I guess the country needs
some sort of pep rally. Heard enough
pep rallies in Church.

Principal came on and said we could turn it on
in the classrooms. I told the kids C-span would
be showing it and I would make sure
that their government teacher had it taped for them.

Universal Law of Gravitation had to come first today.
I am a putz.
I am a nerd.
I am not patriotic enough.

Dont remember 2nd GW inauguration capturing quite
as much fanfare.
