Inauguration

I’m watching the inauguration ceremony and my absolute favorite classical musicians are playing in an ensemble: Yo-Yo Ma, Itzhak Perlman, Gabriela Montero, and Anthony McGills playing a composition by John Williams.

Wow. These are incredible musicians, probably some of the best in the world. And John Williams? LOVE his stuff. I love the bits from Lord of the Dance in the composition.

The oath of office for the president is being administered. Can you imagine hearing the roar of several million people? Oh he is nervous. He’s fumbling over some of the words. But he made it through.

Mall with millions of people...
Mall with millions of people...

Woohoo!! President Obama! Here’s hoping the next four years are better than the last eight.

  • Headaches

    It’s that time of year again. Whether it’s leaf mold or some other allergen or a weather front, it’s sinus headache time. Thursday night I woke up with a nasty headache: the type that sits behind your eyes and pounds. It was aggrevated by sleeping at a funky angle. The headache lingered into this morning…

  • Where has Ceffyl been?

    Ceffyl has been moving! I bought a cute townhouse. Closing was October 9th. Most of my time in October has been spent packing, getting the new place situated, and cleaning out the old apartment. I had to give a 60 day notice for the apartment complex and pay the lease termination fee (two months’ rent!)….

  • New refrigerator

    The lovely new refrigerator is here! It makes such a huge difference in how the kitchen looks. The house is so much quieter too, without the rattle of the other machine’s motor. It will be interesting to see what happens to the electric bill now. Related Images:
