Inauguration

So, being as Inauguration Day fell on the day on which I was expected to write my monthly post on the far out, instructive group blog at Interesting Nonfiction for Kids, I spent a good portion of this past Saturday writing THIS 

Now that much of the 57th Inauguration is behind us, let me say how much I loved James Taylor's America the Beautiful, old Baby Boomer that I am, and the President's speech, and how grateful I am to live on such a day as this. It's not simply that I'm a fan of our current President and his point of view. I am. But Inauguration Day marks a glorious achievement for our bumptious, contentious republic. Peaceful passing of power and all....

Truly, it's a big deal, history-wise.
