Melissa and I are putting on layers of clothes and heading to the national Mall to join hundreds of thousands of our friends and neighbors in viewing the swearing-in of President Obama. We will be more than a mile from the Capital, but they have set up jumbo TV monitors so that we can see and hear the ceremony. On Saturday,we attended the "We Are One" concert at the Lincoln Memorial. We arrived more than three hours early, so we were close enough to see the Obamas, Bidens, Springsteen, Bono, Stevie Wonder, Pete Seeger, etc. They looked like ants, some of whom held tiny guitars. On Saturday evening, we attended a reception hosted by the Oklahoma State Society at the Smithsonian Museum of the American Indian. It was a lovely evening, capped by a rousing sing-along rendition of the title song from "Oklahoma!".
