The production value is amazing. Say what you want about “Hollywood Elites”, they put on a damn good show.
Side note, if I ever become President (which I won’t) I would much rather have a family only dance party in the White House, followed by fireworks on the balcony and jammies and bed by 10:30, over attending stuffy balls in uncomfortable clothes and shoes. They totally have the right idea here.

So admittedly I don’t remember much of Obama’s last inauguration celebration, but obviously didn’t pay attention to 45’s.
The whole online DNC and this is like the conversation we have at work about holiday parties or fancy dinners. How ‘bout just cut me a check for my share of the party. Like these fireworks. Probably saved money even with this display.

Maybe I should have paid more attention but I expected a dance at the end? I mean, no ball or anything but just the Bidens and Harris-Emhoff dancing. With pretty gowns.
Huh. I'm thinking Bill has some sort of health issues happening. I don't think it's a cold as I don't think he would have come with a cold during covid.
Yeah I’m not going to say anything negative. I think he maybe has some medical issues and it’s none of my business. I would hate to be in the public eye and be trotted out as I age.

Everything today makes me want to visit DC again. I mean, I could, it's only a few hours' drive but I'm waiting to travel until things are close to or back to normal. I miss DC!
I'm still back at the parade. lol But watching Doug stand back so that it was a line of Black women walking arm in arm with Vice President Harris gave me all sorts of feels. All the Black and Brown little girls who saw that today and for years to come and what a difference that will make to them.

Yes! No more balls! I love that we all got to celebrate!

He's the youngest of the born in 1946 club (August) to the other twos June and July. Yes I am obsessed with this, for some reason, it really bothers me.
I tuned in just at the dancing in the Oval and the fireworks, and I couldn't be happier. There is love and humanity and empathy in the White House again.
“Today, my father, a veteran and son of south Georgia, would have been 104 years old. Today, our country’s first Black, woman Vice President swore in his son, Georgia’s first Black United States Senator. That this is even possible is a testament to the promise of our democracy and the covenant we share with one another as Americans."
I don’t know how to post a tweet here, but check out “Tom Hanks” on Twitter. I was amused.
One said something along the lines of “Day one of the Biden presidency and the closest thing to controversy is everyone on Twitter politely pleading with Tom Hanks to put on a coat.”
