Inauguration 2013

Two stellar warm-up acts for Beyonce at the Inaugural Monday, seemingly working off the same American page: President Obama's Inaugural Address, and a poem for the occasion by Richard Blanco.  That scene is the photo below.  Above: the first of several dances at several Inaugural balls.  If you can call them dances--they were makeout sessions, just what the nuns warned us about. Click on the photos to get their width. By the way, as I predicticated, crowd estimates were misunderestimated.  At least a million happy citizens were there.
