Yes You Can!
Coffee and espresso will be brewing on January 20th like never before. Yes you can – come and watch the inauguration of President Barak Obama from 8 am to 12:30 pm at Tazza D’Oro. Greg from Pittsburgh Custom Home Theater will be bringing in and hooking us up with one of his magnificent flat screen TVs (OMG, all in one day – a new President and a flat screen TV).
On a personal note, I am completely excited – besides love I don’t think there is a better feeling than hope! Plus, I have a feeling I am going to be cured of my terrible cringing habit; oddly, it happened everytime I heard our current President speak! Hope to see you all on the 20th!

I love it! The excited is really..uuhum..brewing! :-)
Are you going to resume the conversation cafe?
I feel your pain. Looking forward to somebody who can finish real sentences with meaning!
As important as Hope is, I think Trust is equally important. Especially in these turbulent times.
BTW, I meant to say “excitement” in my first blog attempt at humor.
FYI, the Inauguration ceremony starts at 11:30… you might need to extend your party. I’m organizing a “Where Were You When” party in our lobby, co-sponsored by the August Wilson Center and the African American Chamber of Commerce. If this is of interest, here’s the “official program:”
