9587 – Tuesday
Congrats, President Obama! We listened to coverage on CNN radio while I went to the MVA – ( I have to contact the state of Florida for more record info, before I can get my D/L here. Strike two!)
Soledad O’Brien couldn’t stop talking about "White House was built with slave labor" thing… once worked, thrice is two times too much. Message received, etc.
BHK made this nifty cake for Jay and Sean’s Inauguration party –
Pretty Keen – did a tick for each president prior, in red or blue for republican or democrat – tick marks are black for other (like Whigs or D-R’s)
Says "Time for a Change" with clock hands, and the Obama Logo in the center.
Small gathering, but it was neat to celebrate the changing of the guard. There are going to be a lot of sleepy people in DC tomorrow after all the parties and etc.

9584 – Saturday
Well, the stars were out of alignment this morning – 7 degrees to start, and the ground was frozen an inch thick.
BHK and I slept in a bit, and then I hopped into the shower, to get ready for my appointment at the MVA to get my license – turned on the water and… nothing came out of the nozzle.
It turns out that water solidifies, or "freezes" at certain cold temperatures – sort of like those little cubes you put in drinks to cool lemonade on a hot day.
Water can also freeze in pipes, as well as cube trays, it seems. Lacking water, and the desire to rush to a neighbor or in-laws to bather properly, I opted to instead go another day – Tuesday might be good, given that I have the day off, an everyone will be in DC that day for the inauguration. If they’re open, I’ll visit. I know they’re closed on Monday – MLK day shuts it down.
The neighbors were helpful, offered a torch to melt the ice in the pipes, but we figured we’d wait it out and see.
The in-laws came over, and we assessed the situation – it turns out the water came back at about 11am – so BHK made pancakes for everyone, and I scrubbed up in the now-working shower.
After that, we went outside, and surrounded the drafty parts of the house, and pipe areas with insulation (that’s how I know the ground was frozen, and how deep). It seems that the bedroom is benefiting most, upping in temp a few degrees already.
After that, BHK, in-laws, and I watched The Namesake -I liked it a lot – after the in-laws left, BHK and I continued with the The Darjeeling Limited, also pretty good – (I still Prefer The Life Aquatic, but it’s a good second to that Anderson film)
Now, it’s time for bedski.
