Will you be there for the inauguration?
I hope you got a shot of yourself with the cardboard Barack Obama.

Nice shots. Mike - I especially like the one of the Willard. I’m more proud than ever to call DC my hometown!

It’s going to be wild in Washington D.C. the next couple of days. Lots of emotion. Lots of excitement. Nice to see. Especially with the economy tanking. There needs to be a lift-me-up.
