A Very Good Day

The above "form letter" (fake invitation?) came in a fancy ivory envelope from the Inaugural Committee accompanied by a piece of paper reminding me that I might want to stay at home and watch the inauguration on TV.  Did I need an invitation?  Can't I go to my Nation's Capital any day of the week, and find my own accommodations, and be excluded from all sorts of events and parties?  I will admit, however, that I was fooled at first, and kind of excited, ("Like, oooh, Barack invited me because I volunteered and gave him money!"); it made me laugh at myself.  
Despite all that, I felt a great deal of hope today.  And now, to work.  May the force be with him.
