The dope is out, hope is in.
Lots of black people excited that one of their own is becoming President, lots of white people wondering what
happened to the other half of the ancestry. Lots of people of every hue who don't really care, either way, about that.Conservatives certain that this starts us on our way to hell in a hurry, everyone else figuring this is the first step toward getting out of hell.
Joe Biden becoming familiar, the Wasillabillies fading (thank heaven) into obscurity.
The administration that presided over the worst eight years most of us have ever known has packed up their gear (and their zero accountability), the Chicago Gang coming to town with a national legacy to be determined.
Empty nesters leaving the White House, a family with two young children moving in.
People hanging on every word spoken by the man who's entering, people having long since stopped listening to the blather coming from the man who's exiting. "Yes, we can" replacing nothing that anyone can recall.
Inspiration instead of desperation.
Big party today. Big work starts tomorrow. For the ride to work, here's the new Ground Force One.
Buckle up, gang. It's going to be interesting.

Have you seen the increase in volunteers for service related projects that took place yesterday in the name of MLK? A few years ago, in order for my son to be inducted in NJHS, he needed to have a number of service hours. My son is a minimialist, so he signed up because he had to; but when it was over, he said that he would gladly volunteer again even if it wasn't required. Maybe we're on to something here...just like JFK said 50 years ago, "Ask not..."
I made a similar observation to Mrs PFOS yesterday. Seems that people want to get involved. It's very exciting.
Funny, I'm currently working on a post about getting involved...started it on the plane but my battery died so I couldn't finish. Remember you asked me about My Plan? It has something to do with that too. I won't give anymore away.
