High Noon. Tuesday. 48 hours until the Swearing In. Frequent communication with the NJ GOP. Errands complete. Clients and colleges under control. Packing. Loading the Bush Mobile. Monitoring Weather Channel and FOX. Mapping planned escapades around the District. Renaissance to pick up tix -----> Ellipse to NJ Ball Wednesday; line up early Thursday for the Inauguration SRO Yellow spots, then Parade, and Big Ball TBD. Stars and Stripes? Expect as much security as the Conventions. Once in a lifetime experience. Thank God for relatives that will let us stay overnight and feed us. Almost tapped out of funds already. Hopefully those checks will clear and we'll find a Wachovia so we can get some great souvenirs. Spending more than a dime, that is for sure. Consider it an investment. God Bless America. Hopefully some rock ribbed Conservative Republicans will join this thread, to, you know, make it fair and balanced ..... |

Straw, you would help our cause a lot more if you backed off the blanket statements and the wild generalizations.
Euro-weenie, left-wing, politically correct limousine liberals are not ignorant, just misinformed. |

Just because Ronnie, Jr. turned out OK doesn't mean the family wasn't dysfunctional.
And as far as "back to attacking Reagan", I never quit.

Or, you can be a part of 10,000 Jesuses
(From their website)
We're looking for a few good Jesuses. Men or women who are willing to wear a robe, grow a little hair and travel to Washington D.C. for the Presidential Inauguration on January 20th.
WHERE: We'll be converging at 4th St. & Penn. Ave. north side of the parade route beginning at 11:00 am
WHY ... would we want to go to the inauguration of a president many of us know is diametrically opposed to everything taught in the New Testament? Because it's important to let Mr. Bush and the American media know that their talk of 'values' is misplaced. We recommend dressing as Jesus and perhaps carrying signs which would indicate Jesus's disapproval:
"Who Would I torture?", "Who Would I Bomb?","I never owned an M-16" "What part of 'Turn the other cheek' don't you understand?"
The idea is to take back the symbols of Christianity for those who actually practice it in spirit, if not in name.
If you need a ride or are interested in volunteering for driving to D.C. please email us at info@10000Jesuses.org or use the Driving to DC? volunteer link above.

Fellow MOL-ers:
I prepared this report for my family and friends and am sharing it with you now.
The May Family of Maplewood Attends Inauguration 2005
6 PM, Tuesday, January 18th
Maplewood, New Jersey
My wife and I finished packing up the Stratus and headed down the Parkway after 6 PM. Marilyn was concerned about the cold weather expected for Washington, DC, so we stopped in Wood-Bridge to pick up hand, body, and foot warmers. (These items proved their worth when we were queuing up and standing around in the District on Wednesday and Thursday.)
At Monmouth University in West Long Branch on the Jersey shore we picked up our younger daughter Mariah who is a Political Science Major. Mariah is a registered Democrat and proud of it. She had mixed feelings about leaving campus for two days to see a Republican President re-inaugurated. Her efforts during the Presidential campaign had focused on “Rocking the Vote,” but she had taken both sides during home and away mock Presidential college debates.
We three rolled down the Parkway engaged in conversation and mixed the turnoff for I-195 to Trenton. We turned west on Route 70 after Brick. Somewhere around Lakehurst we started to worry about gas. We rode almost on empty for thirty miles until we hit 206 at Red lion and tanked up. Our beautiful moonlit cruise west had been piqued with fears of abandoning a lifeless car and encountering the Jersey devil. We proceeded through Medford and Marlton where I had seen Cheney and Bush during the final frenzied days of the campaign. 295 South took us past Carney’s Point. The night was aglow with oil refineries. The steam reminded us of the smoke that Mariah and I had seen from Jersey City and Hoboken on September 11, 2001.
After the Delaware Memorial Bridge we stuck to Route 95. Marilyn and Mariah dozed off as midnight came and went. Before we hit Baltimore, I switched to 695 west. After Towson and Pikesville I spied the sign for 795 AKA the Northwest Expressway to Reisterstown. We had ‘reservations’ at my cousin Gretchen’s farm, or as they call it the “Bed and Work”. Those farmers had gone to bed at 10 o’clock but rose to greet us when both their ‘outside’ and ‘inside’ dogs began to howl. No time for chitchat as farmer John had to rise at 5 am to head to his job at a nearby farm. I was exhausted and fell asleep before I hit the pillow.
8 AM, Wednesday, January 19th
Reisterstown, Maryland
By the time I awoke at 8 AM, John was gone, and Gretchen had shuttled young Anna and Paul to school. Around 9, we helped Gretchen feed the chickens, sheep, pigs, horses, cats, and dogs around the 100-year-old barn built into the hillside overlooking the pond and the creek. Breakfast was farm fresh eggs, accompanied by homemade bacon and sausage.
We spoke of Gretchen’s father, my Uncle Hank Senger, who we had buried in North Jersey just the week before. Before he died Hank revealed the details of his service during World War II, and will be featured in February on the History Channel when they revisit the Battle of the Rhineland. Growing up we were unaware that Hank had, at age 19, captured the last Commandant of Dachau. The last time I spoke to my Uncle we discussed the re-election of George W. Bush, which had very much pleased him. Hank had been looking forward to watching the Inauguration on TV.
As the snow started to fall we had no idea of the weather adventure that lay ahead. We followed Gretchen north on 140 towards the “big farm” where we expecting to gaze though glass panels at the research animals in “clean rooms” and maybe visit an operating room. When the roads started to get slippery, Gretchen pulled us over, and we decided to head directly for WDC rather that risk being late for the festivities down there.
Routes 795, 695, 95, and 495 towards WDC were atrocious. Two inches of snow paralyzed the highways. 695 North was shut down by an accident involving several ‘jack-knifed” tractor trailers and randomly involved motor vehicles. Southbound was slowed by rubbernecking and a flurry of fender benders and vehicles that dove for the ditches. Those people just can’t drive in snow and we were the victims of their vehicular follies. Not to mention a shortage of snow removal and salting equipment. One of the trucks we did see turned on its spinner and sprayed us with salt pellets. Really great, especially when you run out of window washer juice. The thirty mile trip took three hours.
Washington, DC
3 PM, Wednesday, January 19th
Thank God for New Hampshire Avenue ! The pavement was mostly devoid of snow and the traffic was moving. We actually found parking within blocks of the Renaissance Hotel at 9th and Massachusetts Avenue. Erin greeted me by name at the NJGOP Will Call window. Happily collected our tickets to the Ellipse Event, NJ Ball, Inaugural Ceremony, Parade, and the Stars and Stripes Ball.
Navigated amazingly well on K Street to the Watergate Complex. Our older daughter Michaela works for Congress Daily in the same building made famous during the days of Nixon and the plumbers. Michaela came out and handed us the keys to her brownstone in Georgetown. Then came the gridlock. Almost an hour on Whitehurst. After a tortuously slow right turn onto M Street and a dangerous left on 33rd we made our way to “O” Street near Wisconsin.
But not before we got stuck on a slight upgrade coated with ice near John Kerry’s street. Was this Kerry’s revenge on this Republican? Sliding backward almost into parked and moving cars, we sought and finally achieved traction. But not before we built up the wheel wells with ice and busted a power steering belt. So now we were maneuvering through the tight, darkened streets, steering manually. Finally arrived at Michaela’s half-width brownstone. I dropped off Marilyn and Mariah, and headed downtown.
Parking legally near McDonalds on K near 15th I trudged down to the Ellipse. I had missed most of the 2-hour concert, but did catch the Vice President’s and President’s speeches, a few songs, and the fantastic fireworks display. This was the “Celebration of Freedom” at Constitution and 17th NW. From my vantage point near the Washington Monument I could not tell but was later told that some of the fireworks made the letter “W”. Circled around the White House complex via 17th and looped back to the car. Stopped in for a quick burger. Conveniently, a street person was ready to collect my change, and happily I donated same.
Back at “O” Street, I quickly changed into my rented tux and marveled at the beauty of my younger daughter in her Inaugural gown. The taxi company kept me on hold forever, so we walked down to Wisconsin in hopes of flagging a cab. The first cabbie stopped and we were off to the Atrium Grill to join the New Jersey Republican crowd.
Walked down to the Old Ebbitt Grill at The Atrium. Again I was greeted by Erin and the crew. This particular event featured an open bar and hors d’oeuvres. The band was invigorating and not too loud. Mariah and I circulated. First to the bar, and the food, and then among the crowd. We were recognized by my sister Mary’s nephew Colin, who works in the White House. His parents were also in town and we hoped to see them at the Swearing In, since they had tickets to the same zone. Colin, Mariah, and I circulated together.
Introduced Colin to Candy Straight from Essex County, and her Mom, and a bunch of Republican ladies from Morris County, who knew Colin’s Dad when he was Mayor of Chester. We said “Hi” to Tom Kean, Jr., who encouraged Mariah to consider a role in politics. Mariah chatted with Bret Schundler, who remembered her from the big party in NYC on the last night of the Republican Convention. Bret enjoys reminding Mariah that he too was a Democrat, until he turned thirty. We thanked for Bob Schroeder for his Christmas card and the salt water taffy he sent after the RNC. Doug Forrester was wearing a red vest to indicate that New Jersey will, if he gets his way, be a red state in 2005 as relates to Governor. John Murphy also knew Colin’s Dad, and has an excellent memory for names and faces. Mayor Lonegan of Bogota, who led us in Christmas caroling and Hanukkah song singing, in front of Columbia HS, in Maplewood, before Christmas, was absent - due to the weather. Several people said it took them 9 hours to drive down from New Jersey. There had also been some flight delays and cancellations.
Mid-event, Christie Whitman said a few words as did Joe Kyrillos. (Also, Tom Wilson, and / or Lew Eisenberg?) Five of the seven Republican Gubernatorial candidates were present and each said a few words. Did not see any of the 6 NJ Republican Congressmen. I later introduced Mariah to Christie Whitman, and they had a brief conversation about Governor Whitman’s days at the EPA. Mariah is adept at engaging politicians in relevant conversation.
As the crowd dwindled, Colin cell phoned his girl friend, who is a lobbyist for a generic drug company. Her employer had equipped her with a limo, so she graciously dropped us back to “O” Street. At that point, Marilyn and I left Mariah with Michaela, and drove over to C Street SE to crash at my brother’s house. He lives within site of the Capitol. We found the last available legal parking space, but put out an old District parking permit, just in case. So far in his WDC career my brother has run part of the National Building Museum, architected the Capitol Visitor Center (opening soon ?), and now works for a Vice Mayor of the District. Pete’s crew built the President’s reviewing stand for the Parade. Zack yielded us his room; the twins were safely ensconced in theirs, and Tina was asleep. Solid Democrats all. Pete got us settled for the night and promised to wake us early on Inauguration Day.
7:30 AM, January 20, 2005
Inauguration Day
Washington, DC
Before my brother knocked on our door, we were already up and about. We dressed quickly and declined breakfast, per se, but did stuff bagels in our pockets. At the time, he did not understand our sense of urgency to get up to the Capitol. We said “Hi” hi to Chris and Joe sitting on the couch looking forward to a day without school. Pete gave us directions to the Metro at 8th and D SE, and we were off. Using the metro card is no problem once you get the knack. We only had to go from Eastern Market to Capitol South.
Emerging at the edge of the Yellow Zone we followed directions to the security entrance and proceeded into the Yellow Standing areas around 9 AM. Sight unseen we had figured on going to the area on the right, but found that area’s view blocked by huge temporary stands that had been erected for the event. We tried the area to the left which was more central and had a great view.
Borrowing a cell phone, I voicemailed Michaela to change the place of rendezvous, to under the Walnut Tree. Marilyn staked out a place along the wall where we sat. Still expecting the girls to join us, I moved around the Yellow area seeking them, and later we looked for them on the way out. Turned out that they arrived 45 minutes after us, waited on line for over 1.5 hours, and despite tickets were told they would not get in. They went back to Michaela’s office at the Watergate to watch the swearing in on TV.
Marilyn and I, meanwhile, settled into our location, wore our warmers, read the Washington Post, and waited. Congressman Donald Payne (D), from our District in New Jersey, had gotten us the tickets, and presumably had much closer seats that we did. The first music began just after 9:40 AM and there were introductions of dignitaries arriving on the big screen TV. Kerry looked downtrodden. Did not notice Edwards, who is no longer a Senator. After 11:30 AM the crowd started to anticipate the approach of noon. Some people in back of us were yelling at others to stop standing on the wall so they could see better. There were a few moments of protest up front but the protesters, were quickly escorted away.
The President must be sworn in by noon. They swore in Dick Cheney first. At four minutes of the hour, Judge Renquist swore in George W. Bush for four more years. I really liked the President’s speech, finding it visionary, inspirational, and with appropriate references to God. (For details of the plan behind the vision, tune in to the State of the Union Address.)
After the Presidential speech the crowds started to disperse, but some waited until to final benediction and National Anthem. We found our way to the Capitol Club. From there I called Michaela and found out what had happened to them. I sent Marilyn to meet Michaela in Gtown and directed Mariah to take the Metro to Capitol South. Michaela had her hair done while Marilyn readied one of her “Trunk Tours” gowns for Michaela to wear.
It was already 2:30 PM, when Mariah and I started our hike towards the Parade. It looks short on the map, but it took quite a while to traverse 2nd, D, etc. Along the way my first coffee of the day. We found some rather rare rest rooms open to the public at a Subway, but the lines were long. We tried to parallel Pennsylvania Avenue, but the barriers and such kept pushing us north while we tried to go west. Our tickets were for Pennsylvania avenue between 10th and 13th. The entry at 13th was closed because protesters had tried to storm the gates. We queued up on 12th. Rumors that the parade was over, that we could not get in, etc. After the President passed at the head of the parade, throngs of both supporters and protesters left the viewing areas. Eventually towards 4 PM, we used our blue tickets to get into the bleachers. Actually missed very little of the front of the parade. It was a very impressive parade, and you probably saw some of it on TV. Everyone cheered the guys shoveling up the manure after the horses! After an hour I started to worry about the time.
After we exited the bleachers and were starting back up 12th, I heard a voice saying “Ed May, let me take your picture”. I thought it might be someone from Maplewood – South Orange. Perhaps someone from Maplewood Online, like ‘Strawberry’. I said to the photographer, “Is that you, Arch”, and it was. We went to Harvard Business School together, graduating in 1976. (George W. Bush was class of 1975.) In 1976, Arch and drove from see to shining sea together and back. (Actually we only made it to Utah before we turned around, as we started to run out of time and money.) Arch has been a financier, but is now hoping to seque into the financial end of a sports business, especially as relates to cars.
Mariah and I found the Metro at McPherson Square and took it to Eastern Market. She chatted with my brother’s family while I re-tux’d. Changed to a red bow tie and hoped into the Stratus.
Back at “O” Street I fetched Michaela, who looked wonderful in her gown and special hairdo. Amazingly again, we caught the first cab we hailed. Shared it with a gal heading to a different event that was on the way to ours. As our approached the Convention Center the traffic ground to a halt. A motorcade crossed ahead of us. George W. Bush heading to the first of ten inaugural balls, I presume. Michaela and I hoofed it the remaining blocks to the Convention Center. Each of the several balls in the building had its own entrance. Ours was 7th and Mass Ave NW. Michaela’s hair pins set off the metal detector, so they carefully searched her hair ?! Each ball had its own coat check, and after checking her coat, we escalated to a higher floor and located the “Stars and Stripes Ball.
The ball room was huge. “Football field’ is the size that comes to mind. There were balconies on the left and right, that we could not access. In front was a large stage. Off to the right was the band and dance floor. I was surprised that the bar was cash and that we had to queue up to buy tickets first. The dinner was buffet, and not a glamorous one at that. I have seen better food at a High School prom. Cheeses, salad, pasta, and pretzels. No tables to sit at with your plastics utensils and silverware.
We circulated. Doug had switched to a black vest, but noted my red tie. Murphy remembered my name, but naturally assumed that Michael was Mariah. I explained : two nights, two balls, two daughters. (And Marilyn happy to live vicariously through them.) The room was mostly people from New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. A few interlopers were noted from Virginia and California. Around 9 PM, they stopped closed the doors to the room, Governor Pataki got on stage, and the band played military music. I saw George peek from behind the curtain. Then “Hail to the Chief”, and out walked both George and Laura. They were charming. He asked her to dance. He stepped on her toe. They waved to every corner of the room, and they were gone. Maybe ten minutes on our stage. Later on I peeked into another ball and it was the same routine. He just named different states, and the names of the different politicians and guests on the stage with him.
I wandered by the three balls I located in the same building. They were good about checking tickets, so for example, if you were in the “Stars and Stripes” you could not get into “Independence”, Patriot, etc. We had our official photo taken. Must see it on line, and decide whether to buy it. Tables of inaugural gifts. If I want them I can get them online.
So we mingled, and danced, and watched all the thousands of people in gorgeous gowns and rented tuxedos. Laughed at the red elephant and blue donkey festooned with partisan stickers commemorating past elections. Wondered how many attendees were first timers like us. Took the occasional picture and graciously took pictures of other couples with their respective cameras.
There we were. At the inaugural Ball. The Republican Dad and a Democratic Daughter. (We had bet on the election and the winner got to take the loser to the Inauguration.) Being televised around the world. Celebrating Democracy and the peaceful handoff of power from one president …. to the same President. Having a great time, but getting tired. After 11 PM we decided to call it quits, so we reclaimed Michaela’s coat, and off we went.
Very interesting watching hundreds of couples heading off in every direction through the frozen barricaded streets. No vehicles were allowed within several blocks so we had to leave the zone to get transportation. Lines for taxis outside local hotels were long. We headed to China Town and caught the Metro to DuPont Circle from whence we taxi’d to “O”.
That’s about it. We said good-bye to Michaela. Marilyn, Mariah, and I drove back to the Capitol area. Part of the way we took the former parade route, but then we got lost in southeast DC. Using out knowledge of the Washington grid of alphabetical and numeric streets, we figured our way back to C Street SE. Parked the car out front and headed into Peter’s place.
(The next morning we rose early, finally put air into the one nagging tire, and made excellent time back to New Jersey, despite the lack of power steering (now fixed). Mariah made her 1 PM class at Monmouth and we made Maplewood before 1 PM. I even got to NJIT in time to teach the last 3 hours of my 4-hour class. (Doctor English started the class for me and held down the fort until I arrived)).
Thus ends this report on the May’s of Maplewood and their adventures at inauguration 2005.

Thanks, my comments were in jest. Ed seems like a good guy (a little wacky and I totally disagree with his politics but then again, so does his daughter). |

sbenois, anon, Dave, Mustt-Mustt, Ukealalio, luv2Cruise, llama, Rastro:
Thank you for reading my short report on the Inauguration, and posting your comments, especially Ukealalio's last posting.
We exist in free society (here I am referring to Maplewood Online) and all comments are appreciated, even those with which we don't agree.
If someone else went to the Inauguration, to participate, or even to protest, and they do post (or have posted) I look forward to reading what they have to say, and maybe posting my comments .....
The thing for me, was that my wife and I went to the Inauguration with our two Democrat daughters using tickets secured from both sides of the aisle, witnessed a bit of history, and managed to put aside familial partisan politics for a few days.
