There's not enough snow yet, I can still open the doors...

I am more excited about today than I was about Christmas, New Year's and my birthday combined. I was going to take the day off but now I'm glad I decided not to-- it's fun to be at work wearing my new Obama t-shirt and it's getting lots of compliments.

And I'm wearing a skirt today. What? It's a special occasion! My inaugural ball gown.

The guy has bred some really fun shirts. Almost tempting is the "dragons for Obama" one.

I wore long underwear, boots and jeans, which was good because I was standing in the cold for several hours. (We had a Sbarro's-style stand-up booth where a communal laptop was placed.) I had a rotten view of the inaugural and not a much better one of the jumbo-tron. But, hey, I was there.

My favorite moment was the clarinet break to "Simple Gifts." It's so American, and I hope reflective of "the ground moved" from beneath the cynics. That goes for Republicans as well as Democrats. It's been pretty nasty on our side these last several months, and now that the other side is the loyal opposition, I hope we can take a cue from our president and be gracious, responsible winners.

I'm back in the office now, warming up. I'm thrilled the Obamas got out of their car. Cheers, cheers, cheers!

Eee, mine too! That was a bit of unexpected loveliness. It was my misty-eyed moment, truth be told. And as someone on my Twitter page said, good on them for getting their instruments to stay in tune in all that cold.

I hope we can take a cue from our president and be gracious, responsible winners.

That's my hope as well. We've got too much work to do.
