I have moved into the sweet and sour gummy hearts portion of today menu. I have the vanilla ice cream softening for the root beer float celebrational libation when the swearing in starts. They have described what the men are wearing, Ralph Lauren, and the women, young u. s. designers. ---

To my friends and allies, the American people, I wish President Biden much success. I know that the majority of the nation is breathing a sigh of relief although there is a lot of work to do to fix what the Trump administration has broken.

Was Brandon w/ them? They sure kept his profile low. Which is fine, just mildly curious. I wonder how much time the Trumps will spend in the same residence. I could imagine M heading back to NYC - tho I read some stuff about researching FL schools. ---
