I am heading out to the Presidential Inaugural Reception that I was invited to at the US Embassy in Sofia, Bulgaria soon.  I've decided to wear my Barack Obama shirt under a blazer.  It's a good thing too.  I think my tee shirt has seen the end of it's regular use--there's a stain that I've tucked into my skirt and the yellow is beginning to look a little dingy.  But I am guessing that not too many people are going to be paying attention to how yellow-gray my shirt has become.

I thought it was important to wear it at much as possible leading up to the election.  I wore it the day I got it, most of the summer in Washington DC (my roommates can attest to that), when I cast my ballot by mail from the Sofia Post Office, on election day and then to school the morning that McCain conceded the race to Obama (well it was morning here in Sofia!) and I am wearing it one last time in public to the US Embassy in Sofia for the Presidential Inaugural Reception.

It's about time.  Barack.  I'll be rooting for you today and for the next four year and I hope your presidency is higher quality than I the tee-shirt I bought is.
