Dante once said that the hottest places in hell are reserved for those
who in a period of moral crisis maintain their neutrality.

Onward to Washington D.C.

We're going to the inauguration!
It is a historic event that we didn't want to miss, and thankfully, we have one key connection ... and he came through for us with tickets to the swearing in ceremony.
So, we've been buying clothes to help us survive the freezing cold weather, and we are reading about the difficulties we will have with metro transportation, numerous security checkpoints and standing room tickets. We expect to be standing and waiting for six or eight hours. Ouch!
But, if all goes according to plan, when Barack Obama raises his hand and says the oath of office and becomes the 44th President of the United States, we will be there screaming our approval ... with a couple million other people.
Good times!
