As I hinted at in a previous post, schlepping down to Washington D.C. is on my list of things I do not enjoy. It’s not D.C. itself that bothers me, just the dull, non-scenic trip. As historical of a day as this is, getting on a bus/train/plane to stand among millions without even a chance of seeing President Obama seemed rather pointless, so, I stayed in Hartford and watched the inaugural events on a friend’s widescreen television. Being among friends and warm acquaintances, indoors, with tissues handy and cameras out is a memory I will cherish. Someone cooked molasses sweet potatoes, and another person made a special Obama cake, pictured below.

Below are a few pics of the tv screen, for anyone who might’ve missed all of the coverage today.
