Certainly a number of friends and associates have heard those words come out of my mouth. Maybe a number of people figured it out when I joined the Facebook group, "Barack Obama and I both went to Punahou."
Of course, this connection made it imperative that I watch the inauguration and, of course, catch the Punahou Marching band. It was a proud day for Hawaii and, even, more so for the Buff ‘n Blues.
I couldn’t get down to DC so I had to stream the event on my computer. Experiencing the event that way wasn’t so bad. It was amazing to be connected to CNN.com and tie into my Facebook account. I commented and read all my friends’ status. I even received notes from a friend in London and one in Switzerland. All connected and involved in the event.
I wasn’t the only one watching for the band. I guess a number of friends were expecting to see them. Friends from LA alerted me to Obama’s reaction to the band. A warm "shaka " sign came from not only Obama but his entire family. Of course, did I see it? Nah. Missed it but I caught a glimpse by going over to the Honolulu Advertiser web page. Is it me or has the world just become smaller?
