I know Callie but it is a big thing, not just for America, but for the rest of the world.  I guess everything will calm down in the next few weeks and months to come.

I didn't intend to watch it live, but decided to work from home and watch coverage.  I'm glad I did!  Truly felt like I was watching history take place.

There are events in history that I would love to go back in time and see happen in the moment, generations from now will look upon yesterday as one of those times.

I got in the car to drive home from work just as his speech was beginning.  So for my whole journey home I had his words in my ears - what a great speech!

Later on, I saw the end of the lunch and the very start of the very late parade.  I saw a bit of the parade where they walked the last bit, as per tradition, this morning on the news.

I guess the smart thing to have done would have been to order a copy of today's Washington Post from the international newsagent here and then squirrel it away for the future!!

I watched the whole thing including the balls.  I actually cried.  It was awesome!  Now let us hope he can do what he says!
