What She Shovels

I’m a sucker for pomp and circumstance. I love a good ceremony, steeped in tradition, brimming with meaning and 1001 details that are all ironed out in the wings. Today’s inauguration of President Obama filled all those and more. I watched some and listened on the radio and there are so many people who have said it better than I could. I will only say I am hopeful and excited, as with any new change. I wouldn’t wish his problems on anyone, but I hope he manages to continue to be graceful, eloquent and honorable as he seeks to help us make this country the best it can be.
