The Inauguration

I came across a pretty cool panoramic picture of the inauguration today. It's a large number of smaller photos pieced together, which allows the viewer to zoom in quite a bit. . Here's the link: Inauguration Panoramic. Because of how it was made, it's a large file so it may take some time to load.

On that note, my next youngest brother, Luke, is interning in Washington, D.C., this semester through the Witherspoon Fellowship after graduating from K-State in December. His apartment is only three blocks from the Capitol so he's right in the mix of things. He took advantage of that proximity to attend the inauguration. I wanted to see if I could find him in the panoramic, and sure enough, there he was. I've outlined him in these pictures cut from the panoramic. Please click on the pics to enlarge them.



It's pretty neat that Luke gets to spend a semester in D.C., but it's even neater that he was able to take in a presidential inauguration.

Changing the subject, tonight was the sixth annual Battle of Lexington-Concord. It's a fairly young tradition with Lexington Christian competing with Concord Academy in V and JV boys and girls basketball (4 games) and wrestling. Best-of-five wins an amazingly wimpy revolutionary-like drum! With that on, we actually had a large crowd (with a student section!). Girls varsity started with a win, followed by wrestling and concluding with our 67-61 victory. This gave LCA the drum for the fifth year in a row. Unfortunately, since the last time I posted about basketball (when we were 1-2), we have lost five games in a row before tonight's win. Do the math and we're a lack-luster 3-7. Sometimes we show up, other times, not so much. Tonight was better, but with three league games next week, we're looking at an uphill battle.
