I am SO thrilled to have Barack OBama being inaugurated this morning, but SOOOOO frantic to figure out how to watch/listen/ ANYTHING regarding the inauguration!!
My computers at work don't have speakers, but I found an old set of them at our house. I'll bring them and hook them up to one of the computers I'll be near (I work off of three and they aren't near each other...DRAT!). I also am used to taking a half hour break at 11am (don't bother taking an afternoon break), but since it starts at 10am, I'm PRAYING I don't have any meetings at 10 and can take my break early. I hear it's only going to be a 17 minute speech.
The only good thing is that my boss/friend/break partner is a HUGE political groupie, so she'll have her TV going. (Maybe I'll suggest we have break in her office).
My niece Carly, is lucky enough to be at the mall in Washington DC today with her aunt and cousin, but her fiancee, Rebecca holds the 'Golden ticket' which she won at a lottery that she entered for the exclusive places.... (she has a dream....) Take great pictures, Rebecca!!
Addendum for this posting....
We got to watch the inauguration at work...!! Yaaa HOO! The TV was on (Not great reception, but it's better than nothing) and anyone could check out what was going on all day long at their leisure (as long as we managed to take care of some work in the process, that's me in the grey hair)
and most all work stopped completely from 11:15am - 12:45pm... I took some pictures of the TV and of us getting to watch it.
Thanks Boss....

Barack Hussein Obama WINS!!!
WHOOO HOOOO!!! 
No matter who got in, it was to be a historical event, in any case. I ran out this morning to buy up several newspapers (to be put away after they are read) as they will be a valuable piece of history and I was there and got a chance to take part in it.
(Think what they may bring in on e-Bay...) How lucky am I?
The emotions around this campaign were higher than I ever remember any election. There is so much hope on these faces.... I heard the horror stories of long lines and questions of whether our new voting system (scanned paper ballots) would work properly...they did and the wait at 7am was 22 mins. (I would have waited hours....brought my book to read, just in case... just to take part in this historical election).
