I’ve waited until tonight to write about today’s events in Washington. You can take the events back over the past few days to get the full effect. I was on a conference call this morning, that was obviously being cut short so we could go grab our best source of the inauguration. It was funny, after talking to some tonight, it was TV for some, the internet (like me and CNN.com live streaming) or just what’s considered the old fashion “Radio.” What an event. Wednesday is “Off to the Office” for Barack and the duties of the new president. For those of us on board for the past year or more, this was a great day. Not everyone I know has looked past the color or party affiliation, but now is the time for union. Let’s give this a chance and see how we can make a better America for all us. This was a big day in history for the USA. I have no regrets for my support of the past 18 months. It’s been a good run. Now lets see if we can all grab a hold of some projects in our home towns and continue the dream.
