The Inaugural Anti-Climax

We celebrated all night long back in November, but now this big day and I was babysitting and the cable was out. I managed to watch the inaugural speech in 2 minute shifts while the boys were distracted, but I don't know anything about the rest of what happened. I hear Bush was escorted to a helicopter by our new president and that some folks were excited to see that.
It seems a little unreal, probably because I'm isolated from all of the circumstance. I suppose also because I hardly believed I'd ever see the day when W would actually go away. Seemed like a nightmare that wouldn't end. He's been our president since I was really old enough to even notice politics.
