Now that Bush is gone, I can play golf again!!!

Giving Up Golf For the Good of the Country

I told her, like I told Karl Rove’s henchman who keeps harassing me in e-mail, that I like going to DC in the same conditions I like when I play golf: On a Tuesday when no one else is around…

She said:

It was an adventure; got back late last night, am trying to get my pipes fixed (they froze the night before I left).

Later,

I was there today on the mall in Washington DC for the inauguration of Barak Obama, I was in one of the front standing areas for the silver ticket holders.

I was a part of history today.

It was extremely cold.

We waited in long lines for hours, the metro was packed beyond belief.

When you see shot of the mall, there will be a bunch of jumbotrons, you will see one on the left and then a row of a bunch of them on the right, we, my wife and I, were just to the left of the one on the left and about fifty feet back.

Did I mention it was COLD. I had on three pair of socks, shoes, pants, a t-shirt, a denim shirt, a sweater, a leather coat, a top coat with a wool liner, a scarf, leather gloves, lined with thinsulate, foot warmers in my shoes, hand warmers in my gloves, my Tilley hat, and it was still cold. We got on the metro about six in the morning, it took close to an hour to get what would usually take 15-20 minutes for the trip, but the traffic on the rail was heavy and we would stop and have to wait on other trains, then were told that the stop we needed to get off at was closed due to heavy crowd levels at the station, we got off at the next station and had to walk about 10-12 blocks in the cold, and then waited about three hours in a huge crowd to get to the security check point, we would stand for a long time then the crowd would move a bit, shuffle, shuffle, shuffle and move 5-10 feet, then wait a while longer. There were no problems and the crowd was calm, everyone was excited to be there.

But I was there along with about two million other people.

At the ball on Tuesday night the Vice-President, Joe Biden and his wife showed up about 11:15 and President Obama and his wife showed up a bit after midnight.

DC is too cold for someone from the South.

It’s still cold down here too, 26 at the moment according to the weather on my new iGoogle page.

Talked to JS today. She says “we made it.”

Bush actually got on the helicopter and went back to Texas!

But Karl Rove was there in that bunker in Waco, and I think he’s got a new plant here in Alabama, sending me all kinds of crazy e-mails. Maybe I should publish some of them and reveal the guy’s ID and IP.

Maybe later. It’s Yuengling time…
