I left work early to get home in time for the inauguration of the next President of the United States of America. Barack Obama is so cool! He strolled to the platform, looking relaxed and at ease. He was sworn in, without any major problems, and then he gave his address. The speech was ace. I hung on every word. Becky seemed quite beat when she came back from work, so I made her a cup of tea and offered out some biscuits. We chatted for a while about how excited we both were about Obama, and what he could mean for the world.
Later on Liz came round for tea, and we watched the world change over tortilla chips and chicken fajitas. The parade was slow, but thrilling at the same time. Twice along the way, the new President and his beautiful wife got out of their car and waved to the crowd. They even wave in cool way! I felt very optimistic.
