Almost There!

I'm happy to be back in DC after freezing and treading through snow in Canada all of last week. Happy to be in DC, especially at this time, as the city prepares for Obama's inauguration next Tuesday. The whole thing will kick off with a big concert Sunday night in front of the Lincoln memorial, for which the stage is now being built.


But the most marking new additions to the National Mall right now are the endless lines of portable toilets, snaking all over the area. I have never seen so many loos in my life, but I am certain there still will be lines on that most historic day. On the news, they are now predicting that this might be the largest crowd ever assembled in history. We'll see if the predictions pan out, but, one way or the other, you can't ever have too many potties!
