Sunday Open Blog

Good morning bloggies.

Velveeta had to sleep today, and for the first time in almost a year, I was able to get up after the sun came up. What a JOY!!

Watching our President with his family touring the new Martin Luther King Jr, memorial. Cute little Malia is really growing! Goodness. She is so adorable in klutzy-ness and somewhat self consciousness walking alongside her Dad.

Even though we now have our first memorial of an African-American on the National Mall, we still have to fight racism and bigotry and classism everyday. The Occupy Wall Street is a testament to that.

Have a great day everyone.

Good points today. I think I was tired because I just woke up in time for football. But kittie has kept me company all morning. She's been an attention strumpet.

We watched the ceremonies from about 9:30 until after the President spoke.

Did anyone notice he got choked up at the end?

And Personally I Aretha and her handbag. It was a beautiful ceremony, and you are right, Vel, there is much work to do. I cannot believe how tall Malia is. They are both such beautiful children.

Loved hearing Abernathy and Lowery --

Wife's been having "back" issues all week. Pain finally got too much for her and went to doctor. Blood test came back positive for maybe blood clot. So we're at the hospital for tests.
