Today was one for the history books; at least in America. The second-term inauguration of our first
black president on Martin Luther King Day was both historic and meaningful for
tens of millions of people here; and probably around the world too.
From a kid’s perspective, though, let’s be honest and admit
that this was really just a bonus day off from school.
Rowen and I spent the day hanging out together, and since it
didn’t really warm up much today; we stayed indoors, and only went out once for
a chilly little tour around town on our bikes shortly after lunch. We played with Ethan and Ehlana; had a couple
of music practices; played on our computers; watched a movie; and had a Magi
lesson with Mom.
The law and real estate office wasn’t officially open today,
but Dad and Aunt Leanne both spent some time there anyway. Other than having three days off in a row, it
didn’t really even feel like a holiday weekend.
There weren’t any special holiday meals or big family events; and with
most of the stores closed, and almost no visitors or tourists around; it was
very quiet on Main Street. The cold kept most of the kids indoors too,
though that would have been a lot different if we had snow to play in.
We still had a fun day off, and having nothing special going
on this evening allowed me to get an early start on my nightly computing and
studies; so I’ll still be sleeping before midnight even without using a
time-phase.
That’s it for tonight, so...
...until next time, this is Magi Master Cassie Proctor;
logging out!
