Esthetic/Aesthetic

I've begun to think that the crazy lady who went and had 8 MORE kids without a job, a home, someone to help (parents don't count), and apparently up to a million of dollars of debt already is becoming the best metaphor for why our economy is total crap right now.  Six kids weren't enough??  Was she hoping that she might be able to whip up a better batch, because the first ones just weren't cutting it. 

Watching the Inauguration at Pacific Standard

I've never seen so many people in a bar at 11AM - well, except maybe during the World Cup.  Our original plan was to go to BAM, but everyone else had the same idea.  I'm not sure what was happening in the real "working" world, but it certainly felt like the whole world was watching DC this morning. 

Non-believer

My favorite part of Obama's speech is that he finally mentioned non-believers in the list of groups that make up America.  Finally!  What a change - from a president that told us that God put him in power, to a man (a great man) who knows there is more than one way to see the world. 

Yes, I have hope. But I have patience...a little bit of patience. 

I obviously have not felt compelled to "blog".  All I can tell you is I'll try and do better, but no promises.
