I happily watched the inauguration 12 blocks away from the warmth and quiet of my home. Would have been nice to see it live, but I don't think I would have been able to hear or see everything as well as I could on TV.

It's all going to be OK. I ate at your old restaurant Monday night/Tuesday morning since it stayed open until 4am that day. It was my launching pad to the festivities. I thought of you - knew you would have been there if you were in town. Yep! It’s all going to be OK.

I have so many questions regarding the area and this move that maybe you can answer. Any help would be greatly appreciated - if you have the time.

Wow. As for the rest, politics seemed to be put aside for one day. More importantly, I hope you find someone that special again. Real Estate Feast--I always do. But I felt very at home with the new owner and every one of my coworkers. I have no doubt all of that is about to change, likely today. cijahn–ha!

It was 9 degrees when I stepped off the plane the preceding Sunday and it never got much warmer, but I never noticed he cold--I was with someone I cared about in a city that I love for an event that mattered to me. I also remember watching the Reagan funeral on TV, crying over the memories of a man that had meant so much to me, and then being shocked to stillness later in the day as I watched Baroness Thatcher being helped to the President's crypt in California to pay her final respects by none other than--my estranged father. A magical city--one that remains so despite the human rot that clearly now infects its great and majestic halls. Four years ago today I was in Washington DC for President Bush’s second inauguration.
