Reply #72: The thrill is back

[Samantha]

I started to feel it yesterday with the announcement that Michelle and her two daughters have moved into the Hay Adams until January 15th. As the announcement broke, they awaited the arrival of the next President of the United States.

With the inauguration coming up, plans are daily discussed on our local networks. Streets are starting to be blocked off to insure Obama's security. Plans are discussed as to how millions of visitors coming to the political capital of the world will be accommodated with welcoming smiles. The anticipation of The Event is starting to grow and will continue to do so each day until The Moment is here.

The thrill is back and will continue to swell each passing moment. Here's to kicking the thread of one who deserves the prerogative of saying what he needs to say to pass the time away until the new day.

Nice to hear from you, Old Crusoe, and here's a :toast: to the future we so eagerly anticipate.
