Inauguration

That it is tradition that the president elect and the current president have coffee together before the inauguration occurs was news to me. Nor did I know until today that Obama neither drinks coffee nor alcohol. I didn't pay enough attention during the previous elections in my lifetime (or was in school or at work when they happened) to know that it is a recent tradition that the wife of the president elect holds the bible as the swearing in takes place and that for this one that Lincoln's bible would be used.

Being unemployed does have a few advantages. I was able to watch the whole thing and was choked up the whole time. It is certainly a day that I will remember!
