Inauguration day; Thinking of when I was 11 1/2 years old, and faked a sore throat (the only time I ever played hookey from school) to watch JFK's inauguration on our old Philco TV.
Robert Frost stood out in the bitter cold and recited a poem, which my mother recognized.
Now; I stay with her in her small lakeside house during the winter months to help her with daily tasks. She's still doing well at 92 years.
