    Riddle Sideways: hi stevenaia
    Riddle Sideways: and the poem that was read afterward
    Corvuscorva Nightfire does enjoy a good message...writing is good but story seems more important.
    Riddle Sideways wish I had a copy to paste here
    Tarmel Udimo: yes i wasn't sure if it should have been before the speech or not?
    Pila Mulligan: i really enjoyed the musical quartet at the start, too
    Riddle Sideways: we use to get mad at people for pasting text into chat
    Tarmel Udimo: yes?
    Riddle Sideways: ooooooo yes, yoyo and izak
    Tarmel Udimo: yes the music was beautiful
    Claire Beltran: I didn't really get to see any of this... too busy worrying about an appointment I kept this evening.
    Pila Mulligan: and the song they played, a Shaker song -- 'tis a gift to be simple'
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: That's one of my very favorite songs...with any of the words attached to it that get attached to it.
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: The music...
    Tarmel Udimo: is that what it was - beautiful
    Riddle Sideways: was not a very simple way to be simple
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: simple is rarely easy.
    Riddle Sideways: study 40 years... then play is like it was simple
    Pila Mulligan: I had a bust day, too Claire, but the swearing in was at 7:00 am here, so I got to see the first part
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: ah..nice...
    Riddle Sideways: and a good Hawain boy too
    Pila Mulligan: busy*Pila Mulligan: :) he befuddled some reporteres with the shaka sign, I heard
    Tarmel Udimo: obama?
    Pila Mulligan: yes -- waving the hand with the thumb and pinkie finger extended -- it means everything is already, shaka
    Riddle Sideways: alright
    Pila Mulligan: some reporters thought he was singalling sd some one to call on his cellphone :)
    Pila Mulligan: yes, allright -- thanks Riddle :)
    Riddle Sideways: at the end of coverage as I was just about under control...
    Riddle Sideways: they panned through the audience
    Riddle Sideways: there was a sign: "We Have Overcome"
    Pila Mulligan: :) tears flow
    Riddle Sideways: yes
    Riddle Sideways: so many years of singing that
    Pila Mulligan: yep
    Riddle Sideways: to think of the possibily that we mighta overcome now
    Pila Mulligan: I met Martin Luther King in the summer of 1967, at that time today would have been only a dream
    Pila Mulligan: I've cried a lot too, during these days
    Riddle Sideways: yes, only a dream
    Tarmel Udimo: yes there have been many many crying moments, all bitter sweet filled with saddness and joy
    Pila Mulligan: teared really, with a smile, not crying
    Pila Mulligan: not sad
    Riddle Sideways: friends that have not seen this day
    Tarmel Udimo: no more feelings of compassion for those that came before and aren't here to see it all unfold
    Pila Mulligan: it was funny how the oath of office got jumbled up
    Riddle Sideways: a light moment
    Pila Mulligan: yes, and those two are really opposite poles of ideology, Obama and Roberts
    Tarmel Udimo: I wasn't sure if it was obama or the other guy?
    Pila Mulligan: it was Roberts
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: Roberts.
    Pila Mulligan: :)
    Riddle Sideways: really?
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: mmhmm. according to NPR>
    Pila Mulligan: he had 'faithfully' at the end instead of at the start
    Tarmel Udimo: NPR?

    Pila Mulligan: now just for the historical record, Hawaii had its coldest morning today in more than 50 years, for whatever it is worth
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: wow.
    Pila Mulligan: maybe it is astrologically related to the inaguration :)
    Tarmel Udimo: how cold?
    Pila Mulligan: 54 F at sea level
    Pila Mulligan: not sure what that is in C
    Pila Mulligan: it was 45 F up here on the mountain -- 38 F at a town further up
    Pila Mulligan: now these do not sound like cold to you, I suspect :)
    Pila Mulligan: but they are cold here
    Tarmel Udimo: yep its cold
    Corvuscorva Nightfire shakes her head and points to 29 and snowy..which passes for cold in the southeast..
    Pila Mulligan: :)

    Tarmel Udimo: hummmm its what I associate with americana
    Pila Mulligan: :) the better part :)
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: I love the melody...I knew it first as a shaker song..then the methodists taught me new words to it.
    Pila Mulligan: what were the new words?
    Claire Beltran smiles and stretches. "I think I must be going now..."
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: mm..let me think..that was 20 years ago.
    Pila Mulligan: Shaker: tis a gift to be simple, tis a gift to be free, tis a gift to come down where you want to be ...

    Tarmel Udimo: so does this mean you were a shaker corvi?
    Pila Mulligan: the Shakers had one of the most successful communities in American history, but they ran into a duration obstacle -- they were celibate :)
