January Plans

Back in January 2009 when Barak Obama was inaugurated I felt like I should have been there to celebrate with him and thousands of my closest friends. In January 2021 when Joe Biden was inaugurated I felt like I should be there cheering on the fact that the orange shit clown lost and the USA was saved for at least a few years.

I didn’t go on either occasion. I honestly didn’t try, even though I really would have liked to have been there.

In January 2025 WHEN Kamala Harris is inaugurated I am really going to want to be there to celebrate with her and thousands of my closest friends.

We already have a trip planned for that month. Our trip does not include January 20th though. It’s a week later. Washington, DC is far enough away that I couldn’t go there for the day and then go home that same day. I would have to go down on Sunday, attend the inauguration on Monday, and then drive home on Tuesday. Two vacation days in the week before I go on vacation for a week… that would be a tough sell. WHEN she wins the election… I might look into the possibility of it though. Even if I have to sleep in the car because I probably won’t be able to get a hotel room in the city.

We’ll see, my friends… we’ll see.

What’s Going On Tomorrow?

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.
