01-20-09 (Part 2) The Ceremony

As I have written earlier, Jen and I were unable to see President Obama take the oath of office in person. This is how we experienced the event:

It was still a moving experience and I am glad we were able to share the moment with others. As I have also said, Jen and I also were lucky enough to be able to see the President at two inaugural balls. We are more concerned about the people who were stuck in the "Purple Tunnel of Doom" and other, similar situations. Not all of them had the opportunity to see the new President as Jen and I did.

My friend, Tim, has found some amazing satellite pictures of Washington D.C. on 01-20-09 and has posted them on his blog. They are amazing to see - people really do look like ants. Which gives us food for thought in many ways.

About Me

My photo
Lima, Ohio, United States
I was born and raised in Ohio. I am a lifelong Catholic Christian who has always been interested in the big questions of life. I have a passion for learning especially Philosophy, Science, Religion, History and Culture. I graduated from the University of Toledo in 2001 with a B.A. in International Relations. I married my soul-mate, Jen in 2001 and we moved to rural Tanigumi-mura Japan where we taught English for 3 years. We moved to California and lived in San Francisco and the Bay Area for 4 years. Tired of sitting on the sidelines, I began volunteering for the Barack Obama campaign in March of 2007 and was eventually hired as a Field Organizer. Through the Obama campaign, I found my calling and moved back to Ohio to continue organizing. In 2009 I helped the field operations of the Keith Wilkowski for Mayor of Toledo race. After that, I was hired as a Regional Field Director for 15 northwestern and north central Ohio counties for the 2010 Democratic Coordinated Campaign. Jen and I are continuing to volunteer as we wait for the next organizing opportunity to present itself.
