21 gun salutes, ball gowns, traditions, patriotic music, men in uniform, monuments to past heroes, moving speeches, old bibles, formal announcements as people enter, military bands, all the pomp and circumstance . . .
Sigh!
Inauguration day perfectly satisfies all of my romantic and patriotic sensibilities . . . at least for that day.
P.S. Robin and I were texting furiously. I was trying to tell her what was happening. I couldn't stand it! I finally texted, "I'm coming to get you." I picked up Paul and Robin and we came screaming home just in time for the swearing in. They had lunch and I took them back to school.

Perfect (I think it should have been a national holiday)! I went to work at 6:30 and then left at 8:15 to watch the swearing-in and his speech. Then back to work, but my mind was on Washington DC all day - should have taken the whole day off!
I LOVE that you went and got them.
What a great mom you are!
