Inauguration excitement mounting

Over the next few days, I will be blogging about the Inauguration. I will not be in Washington, D.C., but I will be talking by phone to local people who are there.

Adam Rowe, a Meriden Maloney High School student, has already left me a voicemail. He was at the National Mall yesterday for the concert and to hear Barack Obama's brief speech. Judging by his message, he was quite excited to be part of it all. Hopefully, I'll be able to catch up with him more today to get more details.

Connecticut Speaker of the House Christopher G. Donovan, D-Meriden, leaves for D.C. today with his wife, and Meriden's Paul Daniels and his wife are also catching flights today. State Rep. Elizabeth Esty, D-Cheshire, and her husband, Dan Esty, will be attending Inauguration Day festivities, and like Rowe, some Wallingford students will be heading to D.C. to witness history.

Keep checking Political Potpourri for more on the Inauguration!
