Just a quick one from me...
I felt it would be slightly silly/rude/ignorant to make no mention of yesterdays historic inauguration of Barack Obama in the USA considering how many American members we have at Biggerplate!
One would imagine that only the most cynical and/or jaded individual would fail to sense the significance of the moment, and I for one found myself feeling particularly fortunate to have witnessed such an important event.
I hope America, and the world at large will hold onto the optimism that this event has generated, whilst being patient in the months and years to come. Rome of course, was not built in a day. But having watched Obama take the podium yesterday as President, and considering the words of Martin Luther King all those years ago, it seemed to me to demonstrate that optimism, hard work, and self-belief will prevail over time, and I guess that is an encouraging message for all of us in our respective endeavours.
I say good luck to the man and the country!
