I'm writing from the north cafeteria at Mount Wachusett Community College. The college has set up a large screen and is broadcasting ABC's coverage of the Inauguration.

There's a lot of electricity in the air, but I still need the old-fashioned plug-type juice to keep my laptop going.
I've returned to school, taking one course, Legal Research and Writing. I'll write more about this homecoming at another time. Many years ago, Sandra and I met in a course here at the Mount, a course on Nobel Prize-Winning American Authors taught by the late Jack Leamy.
