Macs, soup, an oath

Today was the Big Day for our country. One president said farewell, another took the oath. From these eyes Obama is neither here or there; they are (and have been) poised his way, ready to witness his administration so I can finally decide what kind of man he really is. 

I dvr'd the inauguration so I can watch it later this evening. I happened to sleep through today (what a sorry excuse to miss it live!), but I've just been exhausted lately. Slept some of last night, woke up for a couple hours, and then slept hard like I was sick until just an hour ago.

Plans changed this last weekend. Luke and Kim did not come up due to some family health issues, so instead we went down to KC to help Mom and Stan pick out and play with their new Macbook. Mom is hopelessly in love, and squealed every time a cool feature was discovered. She made a lovely beef barley soup, and it did not lack many compliments! 

We did get to have lunch with Luke and Kim on the way back home. Stephen and I were waiting in the restaurant lobby for them. As soon as they came into view, a surge of happiness went through me. I missed them a lot! Lunch was wonderful and long!
