A new era

I'm sitting in my living room wondering if it is really going to snow tonight and tomorrow. There's that little school girl part of me that really hopes it does but then the professional in me hopes it doesn't. Unfortunately, you don't get snow days if you work at a newspaper. But when you live out in the boonies, which I do, you sort of get stuck at home because the roads are too bad to do anything.

But anyway, tomorrow is the big day and maybe all the snow is just a way to allow Americans to sit at home and witness Barack Obama's inauguration. Whether you voted for him or not, he will be our new president. I'm excited for him and for America. And I'm proud that I've had the opportunity to witness history.
