Happy New President!  Damian and I couldn’t fathom staying home to watch such beautiful history, so we dragged our butts out of bed early and braved a Pacific NW winter morning, standing in line to experience the Inauguration on the big screen at a ‘Living Room’ theater.  They were serving a champagne breakfast, and the venue was packed with a crowd of people diverse in every way imaginable.  It was spectacular.

^ Waiting in line, excited and cold.                 Watching on the giant movie screen.^

And for fun, another blast from the past!  This is me in DC at the Bush Inauguration, 2005.  I was there protesting, of course.  It was coooooold!
