What a day!

I can't help thinking that, impressed as we are by the significance of today in our history, we really don't know just how significant it is. And we probably won't. Our grandchildren will, maybe. And I can't help wishing I could tell our new President some of the things I have learned by living to be a grammy. Things like, I know it's on a much larger scale, but...you can't spend your way out of debt, and if you can't pay cash for it, don't buy it. And with all the complaining about the performance of our schools I hear, it seems to me that kids learned more in the small community schools than they are in the huge consolidated institutions our grandkids go to now. Oh well, I'm just a grammy. What do I know?
