The network went down do I couldn't do the blow by blow that I wanted to. So here is a recap from the last update. Luck was on my side all day. I lucked into tickets to the ball and to the swearing in. While in line for security, an older woman in a wheelchair and her daughther (both older) needed help pushing her mother. I gladly volunteered because it got me through security faster. Turns out the handicap section is right in front of the barricades. I wheel grandma up to the elevated handicap platform. I then take my place in the "care taker" section along the front barricade. Lucky ! I was about 300 yards away from the front of the capital and could see the President and Vice President clearly. The monitors did help because although I could see, the people looked like Lego people. The energy was amazing. Lots of celebrities in our section (Mariah Carey had her back to me).
