Tomorrow is Inauguration Day for your 44th President of these United States. Would continues to thrill me, if every Black person--just Blacks alone-voted for Barack Obama--it wouldn't have been enough of the vote to take him over the top. As our President -Elect says there is so much work to be done. It will get worse before it gets better. Sincere Hope and Faith will shine our path through.

It's 7:33 AM. I need to get on outta here for work in no later than 7 minutes. I have chills shoot thru my body. I stepped on the scale--three pounds gained--had to be the ice cream. I don't care--it'll melt off.

Today--the decision is made--finally.

Tonight--before we head to bed, we hope to have a new president

Tomorrow-regardless of outcome, a new History begins

....and there's John McCain

who picks Alaska's Sarah 'Barracuda' Palin. WOW. Of course, the 'wow' comes after 'who?' Is it true John McCain only met her once? I honestly thought Mitt Romney would be the Republican VP choice. Hmm. The story is interesting: mom to 5 kids, hunter, and called a 'maverick'. I've yet to hear Sarah Palin speak, but then I've not had the TV on either. I do hear CNN chant my name.

The Republicans begin their convention Monday, in the Twin Cities. Believe me, I will watch. To learn. To compare. And ask: do the Republicans have the Metrodome booked for John McCain's acceptance speech?

My opinion is, John McCain did the same thing Barack Obama did. Chose someone so unlike themselves. Just look at age, for one: Barack Obama could be one of Joe Biden's sandlot slugger's. While Sarah Palin could be the daughter John McCain walked to kindergarten. Both candidates chose a person they hope, compliments them. In the end, the presidential nominees desires their VP pick to help bring folks out for the vote. In January 2009, John McCain and Barack Obama want to be sure the U-Haul rolls up to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

In 67 days we'll know---withOUT aid of the Supreme Court.
