The Inauguration

Bookmark and Share

I'm sure you've been watching the Inauguration happenings on Fox or CNN. So you've seen the firsthand reports of what it's like. As someone who has lived on the Hill for more than a decade, I've never seen anything like it. Non-stop sirens. Streets closed. Can't find a parking spot by our house because of all the out-of-state license plates! And the foot traffic has been amazing. Herds of people. It's like the wildebeest migration in Africa!

Believe it or not, I fly out of DC this afternoon. A scheduled speaking engagement that I booked more than a year ago. Who knew it'd be on this day! I'll be in the air flying over about two million people on the mall. Great view of the parade!

Hope you leave early for the airport! You should really try to take a picture of the view from the plane! It would be great to see!

If you would read the Constitution, every so often, you would have known the Inauguration was today. You know, it's light reading for your free time.

I would say it is a good thing to be flying away from the mass of people. Come back when it is more quiet!

missed the whole thing...this darn A 1:8 thing kept me busy :-)

I did make sure our team got to see some of the coverage that night when we got back to the mission house after a long day of medical outreach.
