THE WORLD CELEBRATES ! ! !


Although half-way around the world from our sweet home Alabama today, we can feel the excitement of the US Presidential Inauguration on January 20, 2009. Of course, it's already 1/20 here in Japan, but we have to wait . . . The actual inauguration in the US will happen here in Japan in the middle of our night tonight. We've been watching the preliminaries on American, Japanese and BBC TV & it's obvious the whole world is as excited as we are! We celebrate a wonderful new year and a new opportunity for America to regain the respect of the world! CONGRATULATIONS AMERICA ! !

AWESOME!!! I will always remember where I was on this day...

A few of us quietly gathered in a conference room here at the office to watch on TV. It was very emotional. I can't believe it.
