I shared “Eggnog and Raisin” day with my friends at work today. They really liked it; one was chuckling over it and repeating it long after. So you and Magoo brought some like into an otherwise very snowy and stressful day. ^_^

I thought it was a beautiful speech. I’d never watched an inauguration before and was very pleased with all of it. I, being a tree-hugger, especially liked the part where we have to stop our dependence on oil because in strengthens those who, ya know, don’t like us so much. I paraphrase.

I was and am a big Obama supporter, but not because I think that he’s the messiah or some such nonsense. He’s still a politician, but a politician who inspires me. And I think that’s a beautiful thing.

My happiest thought from Tuesday: MLK’s dream came true because I voted for this man because of the content of his character not the color of his skin. I’m not the only one!

I appreciate your optimism! I’m just not so sure myself. I wore black to the office today in mourning of the death of our country. Communism didn’t work for the Russians or the Chinese. What makes America think this “change” is going to work for us now?

Just thought I’d let you know (in case you don’t already know) that your Tips For Tuesday Kitchen Organization post made it onto LifeHacker.

The inauguration was great. I loved the musical number, and thought it was interesting that only the pianist was wearing fingerless gloves.

Nice post. About the swearing in, the chief justice of the supreme court I believe did not have notes, was telling him what to say from memory, and said the part about “faithfully” in the wrong order and it threw Obama off because he knew what it was supposed to be. That’s what the news people said, anyway.

I didn’t vote for him but I like that he’s motivated and wants to change the country. I hope he does a lot of good. I enjoyed watching all the hoopla throughout the day. It was exciting.

Well stated. We had a snow day here in North Carolina so I was able to watch loads of the inauguration and I was concerned that my son didn’t seem to understand why we were so excited. Well he’s 7 (almost 8 according to him) and then I realized, this is not a big deal to him. He can’t imagine a world where his black friends and brown friends and white friends can’t be elected President. I let that sink in for a minute and then I cried a little bit, happy tears, really.
