Inauguration
Jan/11/09 11:24 AM
You can sense the aura of inauguration in the air down here in DC right now. The city feels excited, yet on edge, hoping it will be able to meet everyone’s high expectations and run both safely and smoothly. Traffic is already starting to build. I had a hard time driving to the Georgetown vs. Providence basketball game at the Verizon Center this afternoon because a big section of Pennsylvania Avenue was closed in preparation of Tuesday. All along the detour workers were assembling stands for the crowds and putting up banners on light poles. You can feel the inauguration everywhere.
What does it mean to me? Well, it means a day off from school! Four day weekend with MLK day and the inauguration. I can’t decide if I should hang around in town for the big day or visit my brother or friends in Maryland and avoid the chaos. What do you think?
