We have the above image framed in our office, right by the desk where we do much of the writing for this site. To us it says “hard work is necessary, and the journey will have many miles.” Regardless of how Hallmarky that sounds, it’s something we believe is true in music and art and writing and love and life in general, not just politics. We congratulate President Obama on this, his inauguration day. Post your thoughts in the comments, including how you will be celebrating, commemorating, or castigating this evening.  Party.
