In a fitting irony, I will be recording this morning’s inauguration proceedings and watching them around noontime. My reasons are so modern that it hurts. My wife and I are going into town to sign closing papers on a home refinance. (4.875%)! We are very fortunate in that our money situation is solid and we haven’t lost any jobs or suffered any setbacks. But this refinance is going to be a big deal for our budget and our ability to save for the future. So even though I have been looking forward to the idea of Barack Obama becoming president for a long time, I am going to DVR it and take care of family business first.
It’s the times, man. Besides, by the time I forward through all the stuff I’ll probably be watching most of the speech live with everyone else. Behold, modern times in all manner of description. I think we should all do something to secure our family and/or community after watching today’s historic moment. If everyone did that on their own, we wouldn’t need TARP or most other acronyms.
I made history today!!!
Wow!!!
When the 45th POTUS enters office on Jan 20, we will make history!!!
As far as the temperature today, well, we made history!!!
