Inauguration

I forgot to mention that I did later see Obama’s speech at his inauguration.  As expected it was powerful, thoughtful and well executed.  The time for talk is over.  So far he appears to be digging right in and making stuff happen, I love it.

As historic as that day was, it was almost overshadowed by Aretha Franklin and her God-awful hat.  I didn’t hear her sing but I heard the performance was not very strong.  She later blamed the cold temperatures.  Maybe the weight of the hat was making her head tip to one side, constricting her vocal chords.

I heard she paid $500 for that hideous thing.  I also heard that the manufacturer is making it available to the general public as well at the super discounted price of $175
