Were you there? Despite a plentiful snow here in the Triangle, our clinic did open today (Tuesday) on a 2 hr delay. I made it to work with time to spare and turned on the lights, computers, etc while others arrived for work in the snow. Most of the morning, I listened to NPR radio while the downtown mall in DC was the site of the inauguration festivities. I tried several options for streaming the video of the swearing in ceremony and finally discovered that the NY Times website had the best signal.
Imagine my great surprise and delight when I actually got to see both Joe Biden and Barack Obama give their oaths. I especially enjoyed the moment at the end when a stately gray haired, white man wiped tears from his eyes after the prayer by Dr. Lowery to end the ceremony. Is this a great country, or what? I am so grateful that I got to see it, hear it, and experience it with snow out my window as I write this. I almost feel as though I were there in person.

What a treat to have snow on Inauguration Day here! NCSU classes were canceled, and Laurie and I were well stocked with work, so we watched the inauguration on TV and did our work. We also went for a walk with Ely and friends around the neighborhood. Ely is so much fun to watch in the snow--she loves it and exudes pure dog joy.
Back to the inauguration--yes, so much hope and joy for what this means for our country--I feel very proud and glad to see our country embracing our new president and first family.
So much is right with the world it seems.
Hope your work continues to go well and that you regain the rhythm of work and play and rest that suits you.
Love, Julia
