Inauguration - Shmenauguration....

That's what I said this morning.... However, I could not stop watching the continuous coverage of this event. I thought it was wonderful, inspiring, well organized and patriotic. I thought the speech was great. I also thought there were two very happy men there - Bush and Obama. One is happy because he is DONE and the other one is just euphoric because he is caught in the hype of the moment. Tomorrow is a first of Obama era and I want to see what he can do...

Bush flying away on the helicopter reminded me of 1980 Moscow Olympics where the Bear mascot flew away during the closing ceremony -http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hX9N3Vj6ES8 although the mood of the people was different :)

The excitement of African Americans and everybody else was indescribable. I suppose, if we ever elect a Jewish president I would be screaming of the top of my lungs too. :) But I think it is pretty wonderful that we have a first African American president, it should end the history of racism, unequal rights and segregation that this country has. I hope it will inspire the people to strive for success, even if they don't think their dreams are possible.

Like my daugther just said " It is the most biggest event"

This is my first blog and I hope my writing will get better with each one...

I will post stories about our family and other less important events :)

be back soon...
