Hurray!
Celebrating the Internet as the ultimate cat picture delivery system:
The Sparkster, deceptively sweet
Monte Alban, typically nervous
Wasn't there something else going on today?
Oh, yeah.
The Washington Monument and the Capitol, seen from the Lincoln Memorial, 11 January 2009
We're celebrating the inauguration of Barack Obama from the comfort of home down in Richmond. After the election, we started planning to attend in person, but as the reality sunk in (hours and hours and hours in the cold, a public transportation system overloaded by four times as many people as it was ever designed to handle), we changed our minds. So here we are in our reasonably cozy house, with coffee and doughnuts, and with media delivery devices turned on in every room so we can enjoy the vapid commentary and get all teary-eyed at the interviews with the civil rights activists. Best of all: No Frostbite! Places to sit down! Bathrooms for everyone!
Here's to the light at the end of the tunnel!
