On inaugural appearances

While I had planned to be at home today, focused on both Obama’s inaugural appearance in DC and the inaugural appearance of this blog, I am neither at home in Illinois blogging, nor in DC.

I am in Phoenix, not focused on much of anything but the inaugural appearance of my newest grandchild. Jane Danger (yes, her middle name is Danger) arrived on January 16th, despite her mother’s determination to wait and thus ensure her firstborn child did not enter the world while George W. Bush was president.

But no matter, Amanda, my daughter, and Jane, and I are watching the Inauguration on TV in between and around the necessity of admiring Jane.
