Like everyone else on the planet I was consumed by the inauguration yesterday. I sat glued to the sofa watching every moment. As a Canadian I was slightly envious of how well America transfers power from one administration to another. It's wonderful that there is time for the new president to be briefed and organized, as well as moving to the new digs in DC.
The big envy on my part is the inauguration. Love the pomp, pageantry and parades. It's amazing how everyone joins in the big party. Could this happen in Canada? Perhaps if they held it in November or May, but definitely not in January in Ottawa. Hopefully I'm not the only Canadian who took in yesterday's festivities and thought, "Why can't we do it this way?"

It's a Geico!
Overheard at the Grand Hyatt in Kauai last November:
"Look! It's a geico!" An older lady exclaimed while pointing at a gecko. Must be great advertising if someone refers to a reptile used in a television advertisement by the name of the product it is touting.
