Sorry for your loss, Barb.
Posted my pictures from the Wilmington whistlestop and the inauguration last night! I didn't get to many due to the extreme cold and the being blocked by other peoples' hats factors. But there's a couple of good ones I think.

What I did at Inauguration. Sort of.
Much peace and coping~ma to Lewis's family, Barb, and blessings on his uncle's memory.
Jess, your sister is awesome and clearly has an awesome job. And wow, even in that fuzzy little YouTube vid she is so very much your sister! Hand gestures, the way she moves, the shape of her face, the tilt of her head--totally JessiKin.
ION, bleargh. Feh on my state hanging onto refunds (though I understand how dire things are; it's just that our wee refund will make no dent at all in the state budget but would mean so much to ours), and feh on the quarterly statement I got yesterday from my retirement plan. My personal fund lost 21% of its value between 10/1 and 12/31. Bleargh bleargh bleargh. Retirement at 72, here I come.
The President is getting a "Barackberry"--a hack-proof, spy-type smart phone.
Okay, so who among us wants a Barackberry now?
(Me!)
Hee! I had the same thought, sumi.
I bet the BarackBerry has copy-paste...
Ha. I bet it doesn't, because what if you forgot what was in your copy buffer and pasted it into the WRONG EMAIL!@!? Woes.
Seriously, though, I need a BarackBerry. For reals.
