Is there a father of one of our members in D.C. today?

They also have a float in the parade.

Obama chews gum whenever not in official view. Hmmmmmmm

.

Well, I'm sure he doesn't want to be a bum, so he chews gum.

On the other hand, the pump don't work cause the vandals stole the handle.

I wonder how he's doing with the quitting smoking thing? After I quit, I chewed a lot of gum.

Was that Wrigley's or around your teeth roots ?

YUP!

I tried capturing some of the guys as BO greeted them. Used the iPad.

How neat! So was he on the street during the parade or in that viewing room?

Did he see the inauguration? Where did he view it from on the mall?

Did you go with him or other family?

I think that is so exciting.

I had several tearful bouts. One with the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir. I have three of their CDs and love them. The director is outstanding:

Carol Cymbala began the choir with a group of 9 people in the early 1980’s. Since then, the choir has grown to 250 voices. When she had trouble finding enough appropriate songs, she began writing them. Although she cannot read or write music, the Lord has given her a special gift that helps her to play from her heart through the power of the Holy Spirit. Twenty years and many albums later, recordings and live performances continue to carry the choir’s sound and the Gospel’s message to people all over the world.

Very very cool!

Kool and beautiful! I'm so happy for your folks!



I watched Al yelling at both the Prez and Veep. Funny! But they both responded to him. I watched from 7 a.m.til 3 p.m. PST.

Thanks for responding.
