I missed it.

If I were home

I would have parked myself in front of the TV

and watched the Presidential Inauguration from start to finish,

but I couldn't

because I was here near Corpus Christi, Tx. 

I did catch about 5 minutes of the President's speech

but then I had to run off and do some silly boat stuff.

At about 1:40PM 

I received an email from the President.

It said he had just renewed his oath for office to serve

as my President.

How nice was that. He was quite busy today

but took the time to shoot me an email.

He must have known I was working and not able to watch.

Just to be clear

I would have had the same interest in watching

if the Republican's had won.

It's history.

Why wouldn't you watch?

I would like to go down in the galley now

and watch a little of the pomp and circumstance going on 

but someone is watching American Pickers.

Seriously?

Anyway, every inauguration

I am reminded of the story of when President Kennedy

was riding down Pennsylvania Ave after he gave his speech.

Standing along the parade route were dignitaries and Head's of State

from all over the world.

President Kennedy stayed seated in his open car

the whole time, but for one exception.

When he passed his Father

Kennedy stood up, looked at his Dad

and tipped his hat as he drove by.

Then he resumed sitting.

I think that is pretty cool.
