I got my Commemorative Invitation to the Inauguration two days before the Inaugural. My daughter was real impressed! I didn't show her the second page, which said the first page basically meant nothing. She thought I ought to quickly buy a dress and hit the highway--never mind details like a day's drive, accommodations, parking and security. We had a great conversation imagining the various balls. I told her the only one I'd go to would be the FReeper Ball, even if I didn't get to see Pres. Bush. I hope they'll send us a lovely commemorative photo of the Bushes all dressed up for the Inaugural Balls. Well, at least we had time to imagine. Sorry your "invitation" came too late.
thank goodness I didn't get to the second page.
I thought I'd been invited! (ha, only joking)
But I did look in the closet for a suitable frock.
