Happy Martin Luther King Jr. day and Happy Inauguration Day! It's no secret that I love our president, so I watched with great pride and happiness throughout the Inauguration this morning. I can't believe it has been four years already!

We, the people, declare today that the most evident of truths – that all of us are created equal – is the star that guides us still; just as it guided our forebears through Seneca Falls, and Selma, and Stonewall; just as it guided all those men and women, sung and unsung, who left footprints along this great Mall, to hear a preacher say that we cannot walk alone; to hear a King proclaim that our individual freedom is inextricably bound to the freedom of every soul on Earth.  

-President Barack Obama

Inauguration Day 2009

It was a bit cold (i.e. REALLY FRIGGAN COLD), but I did manage to snap a few pictures.


An awesome satellite image from CNN


So many people!


In the wee hours of the morning, walking around. View of the big house.


Trying to reactivate those handwarmers.

Waiting. They were showing sunday's concert on the jumbotrons, in the mean time.


Hee-hee, "Cheese"
