I'm watching coverage of the days events, and I must say, I'm content. Possibly, truly, for the first time in a while. I know that the simple act of Obama's inauguration doesn't fix everything, but it the starting point.
Also, I must say, I'm watching Fox News coverage, because it's funny. Even they have to be nice today, and they certainly are.
One thing that made me chuckle: "President George W. Bush and incoming president Barack H. Obama" I chuckle because his middle name was such as stupid talking point during the election, but now it';s just an initial.
One thing that made me rage: The Marine band is playing, and when I tuned in, they were playing "Amazing Grace" by Frank Ticheli, which I'm sure most of you know, I despise. The man and the music, specifically Amazing Grace more than any other.
Anyway, even ole' Franky can't ruin this day.
