Non-Political post

Now that I've got that out of my system I can write about something non-political. After sitting here for the last 45 minutes I began thinking maybe I didn't have anything else to write. I do have a life outside the political musings of a conservative father of two.
We recently had a big screen TV installed. It was our Christmas gift to ourselves. The picture wasn't that great but we also don't subscribe to HD from our cable provider so we didn't think much of it. DVD's rock though! The picture from a DVD is great and the other day a friend of mine brought over his HD antenna that he wasn't using. We hooked it up and WOW! What an difference it made!! We were watching the NFL playoff game between the Steelers and Ravens and I swear I could see the hair on some of the players arms from the sideline camera shots!! We also had surround sound installed and I am really enjoying playing music through the house and listening to talk radio as I do stuff around the house. I'm glad we had it done. The sound quality is really good.

Inauguration Day tomorrow.

Tomorrow is Inauguration day. The era of Bush ends and Obama will be sworn in as the first African American President. Will it be historic. Yes. Will it be a new path for the US? Maybe. Either way the day will start and end as it always does. The sun won't shine any brighter, the temperature won't become any warmer, and the economic crisis won't disappear.
Seems that the more Obama does the more he seems to be gravitating towards a middle ground in the political spectrum. Funny how spectrum rhymes with another word that could be used when referring to politics. I didn't vote for Obama, big surprise there, but I genuinely hope he leads the country in a positive direction. Even if I didn't vote for him, he's still our President. I hope God gives him wisdom and courage to follow a path that keeps our country safe, prosperous and healthy. I noticed that as he became more informed of all the material he gets to see as President Elect he became more centrist in his decisions and appointments. I think that says something about the decisions Bush made while President. It seems that the more he was let in on the Presidential Daily Briefing information he started to change his approach to certain situations. He backed off his raise taxes on the wealthy promise. He backed off his withdraw troops from Iraq promise. I hope he continues to lead from the center rather than the liberal left. If he does he has the opportunity for a second term and quite possibly be able to draw people from both sides of politics. Of course, tomorrow is a new day. It's also the day he takes the reins on this country of ours and I hope he doesn't pull hard to the left once he has the Office of the President given to him.
