Tomorrow is Martin Luther King Day. I am supposed to have the day off. No dice. I’m working the holiday coverage. This is the non-national coverage like I did on Veteran’s day, not the hell on Earth on call like I did on New Year’s Day. I volunteered for this one so that I could pass on President’s day next month with a clear conscience. February is RPM Challenge month, and every day off counts.
But is anything going on tomorrow? Maybe in Washington or something? I hear there is quite the to-do scheduled for this location…
I would love to see an Inauguration one day, even one that is just ceremonial like this one. The Constitution requires the President to be sworn in on 1/20, so the President and Vice President took their oaths of office today. Tomorrow they will go through it again, but it is just for show. What a show it will be. I still get chills thinking of President Obama’s first Inauguration. What a day that was.
Someday we’ll go. Hopefully when we do it will be to celebrate some one we voted for.
