Guanyin

When looking up the name of the goddess with many arms, I found this fascinating YouTube. Enjoy.

From a Favorite Cartoonist of Mine

They'll Be There

We won't, but Deirdre, Hugh and Guy Cross will be at the inauguration. (John is traveling for his job, otherwise he'd be there too.) In her email, Deirdre said:
"We are so excited about President-elect Obama. Every eligible voter in our house voted for him and I volunteered most Saturdays and Sundays between his nomination and the election. I have a lot of faith in him and think he's the right man for these times."

I'm glad Dave and I visited Washington DC - I can at least visualize the area! I think we're lucky to have relatives there, and it's cool that Guy can have spectacular fireworks every year for his July 4th birthday! I'm now using our Washington DC photos as my screen saver. This photo was taken then (May 2005) with John's family at George Washington's Mt. Vernon home.

Tidbits about Past Inaugurations

My favorite is no. 10 about the pigeons at Nixon's inaugural parade! Enjoy the whole trivia list, and ponder what might happen at Tuesday's inauguration that could possibly be added.
