An Inauguration that Augurs Well


We're not attending the inauguration of Barack Obama, but we're certainly attending to it.

This, obviously, is a big day.

I took the day off from work for this momentous event. Peg and I stayed home to take in the media coverage, to contemplate, and to celebrate.

There is much wisdom you can read and hear elsewhere about these events, so I'll keep my comments short.

Our country and world face great challenges, but they have been through other great challenges. I'm hopeful that our new president will continue to pull together the people of our country, and that we, the people, joined with others around the world, will use our considerable collective gifts to work toward meeting these challenges.

Let's get on with it.
