Things I plan to report on as the inauguration nears:

• My drive east, and the traffic batttles that will ensue
• The amount of time it takes us to get from DC city limits, to my brother in-law's near downtown
• Our hopeful attendance at the free concert at the Lincoln Memorial on Sunday
• Picking up our tickets in person from Senator Harkin at his office on Monday
• The "feel" of the city at all points in our trip
• The ceremony itself, including the anticipated three hours of security checks we will endure
• The 1,000:1 people to port-a-potty ratio
• The reception at the Dirksen Senate Office Bulding (near the Capitol) to which we are invited as ticket holders (hosted and attended by Senators Grassley and Harkin, as well as our state representatives)

Any other suggestions? I'm all ears...
