It has been a busy start to the year for me personally what with preparing for the arrival of a new one, looking for a new place, movers and buying some new furniture. Should have sneaked in some time to post something - but I got tardy.
But hey during this time, I managed to learn a few new things. One - you can pretty much kiss your security deposit goodbye when you move into a rental apartment. Second, in this day and age of warp speed communications, AT&T still needs 8 yes, eight days to transfer my line from one location to another WITHIN the San Francisco Bay Area. It still isnt clear to me why they needed eight days to stop my old phone line and start a new one when no hardware installation was necessary. They need a different kind of stimulus.
I got to see bits of the inauguration - the feeling was fabulous - and kudos to all those who braved the cold to watch the historic event. I felt goosebumps. And a bit sorry for George Bush, as he departed looking forlorn. Wonder how he felt knowing that his approval ratings were low and the assembled crowds were happy to see the last of him as President. Lesson in leadership - you got to have a VERY TOUGH SKIN.
The rest of the inauguration was really nice - watching Obama's daughters, his wife, listening to his speech, - it took me, a bystander, a little while to adjust to seeing for myself, with mine own eyes, a non white President. And when I did, I felt tears of joy on my cheeks.
