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.
