DC Bound Daughter

Our daughter is going to the inauguration- the parties and all.

She had a little trouble finding a ball gown as she is 7 months pregnant- but you got to know Megan to know that very little stands in her way.

From the time she was 8 and risked life and limb following her brothers down ridiculously steep hills on her scooter; or her taking on some the most difficult students in the Sacramento school system as a new teacher, Megan has never backed down from anything.

And, if the rather embarrassing article from the Chicago Tribune that the Desert Sun so gleefully ran just now tells me anything, I don't have to worry about unfriendly crowds.

It seems that the Republicans are all leaving town.

Wow.

I am stunned.

I am embarrassed for our country.

I hope none of those guys are dads who say to their little leaguers- "OK, Son- it is how you play the game- now we are going to give a high five to the other team that won".

I mean, we would not want to add hypocrisy to the list, right?

Yup- I am upset. Very intuitive of you to notice.

But,we are proud of our daughter and our soon to be granddaughter who will be there (her husband could not get off work, and someone has to take care of my "other"grandkids- the two cats that share their home).

So Megan, daughter dear- watch the turns on Dupont Circle.- the most confusing piece of real estate in the world....bundle up, California Girl..and know...I am proud of you.

I honestly believe you were the first to say "Yes we can"- so you belong there this week.

You go, Girlfriend!
