3. No one can tell me America will not be joyful on 1/20/09
My entire office here in Houston TX is making that day a day of service and the response across the company has been strong. And it's not like I work for a vegan farm.

5. I said "should", not "must" or "got to" which I've seen posted before. I didn't think "should" was
too pushy. :hi:


I had a bit of a reaction the other day when I saw photos of the preparations on the stairs of the Capital - just the formality of it and the setting emphasizes the significance of the moment.

The woman in the video said it was the Presidential Seal that did that to her initially and then when they started playing Hail to the Chief - she reacted again.

Did you watch it? ;)
