Remembering

Well, what a historic day for America. Quite a beautiful pageant that celebrated the inauguration of Barack Obama today.


I am remembering as I watch that 40 years ago I marched in the 1969 Inaugural Parade for Richard Nixon. Regardless of the history that unfolded in that administration, that day was quite memorable for me and the others in the Lakewood High School marching band that performed in the parade. Did I say 40 years?? Wholly cow.

What a precious memory. Just think -- 40 years from now there will be people the age you are now thinking the same sort of thought that you are today (well, yesterday). Remembering a significant moment in their lives, shocked by how quickly time has passed. Life is a pretty amazing thing sometimes.
