Today is Inauguration Day and I have been enjoying the pomp and ceremony all day. I've made no secret of the fact that I am very pleased with the outcome of the 2020 presidential election and nothing I saw today changed my mind. I am happy and hopeful for our country. I am curious about one thing though. I understand that it is traditional for the outgoing president to leave a letter for the incoming president in the oval office. Considering how un-traditional our outgoing (outgone?) president has been, I was surprised to hear in one brief report that he did leave a letter. When President!! Biden was asked if he would share the contents he said that he would read it in private and then decide. Aren't you curious? In the Harry Potter books the worst letter one can get is a Howler, a letter that screams at you in a loud scolding voice and then bursts into flames. I doubt that the one left in the oval office is quite that dramatic but I am very curious about what it said. I doubt it was an early Valentine.
