Historical Moments

Life keeps reminding me that I am getting old. There is the Obama inauguration celebration concert at the Lincoln Memorial and I don't know who most of the performers are. And I'm not all that interested because they are current pop icons and I think presidents should have more exalted entertainers, though Renee Fleming was on hand. Renee could have been the entire show as far as I am concerned. And there was a day when I would have wanted to be in the middle of it all. Now CNN will do fine, if they would just stop punditing everyone to death. But pundits give me a chance to get on with the home improvement project. Ah, yes, I will remember the inauguration because I had a home improvement project that kept me from being a couch potato. This is a good thing. And alas, the Ravens won't go to the Super Bowl. I can't stand football, but I'll always root for the home team, especially when they are in the home stretch. But I guess political history will be the most prominent this week. Go for the underdogs for the Super Bowl. That's always more fun, even if you know nothing about the sport. Annual check up with the primary care physician tomorrow afternoon. What a way to spend a holiday. Why is it that home improvement projects always mutiply the list of things that need to be done? Ah, but there will be wall painting in the morning! Pray there will be no discoveries this year that will lead to yet another surgery. I seem to be setting a pattern of discovering during odd years things that need surgery. Bone spur, Jan 2006; prostate Jan 2008; nothing, Jan 2010; speaking of historical moments!
