Thank you for the wonderful account of your trip. I'm jealous.

Hey, do we need an Inauguration crossword?

[BykrBayb]

We sure do. How quick can you whip one up?

[doug from upland]

Is that a challenge?

[BykrBayb]

The clock starts at 9:43 pm EST. Hurry!

I believe he was lost in the discussion. The point that went above his pointy head was that we didn't force Christianity on the Japanese.

It really is like shooting fish in a barrel "debating" these people.

THANKS FOR THE PING

40-question puzzle done. You'll have it soon by FReepmail.

Thanks for the great report, Doug. I always enjoy your posts.

As for the FReeper who almost did you in - don't worry - we've assigned him the task of deboning 100 pounds of fresh salmon as a way to make amends.

As for going to DC, the swearing in, and the FReeper Ball - I'm green with envy - wish I could have been there, too.

As for FReeping the protesters - WAY TO GO! - (how come you get to have all the fun - RIGHT living I presume)

As for you enduring balmy days of 85 degrees in Upland - gee, that's a little on the cool side for us Texans, but I wouldn't want you to suffer in that 'HOT' weather, so how about I arrange for a ticket to each of the NFL playoff games to be left at the gate for you. Of course you would have to pick them up yourself at gametime and if you hurry, you could just catch the next flight out & be there for the start. LOL

:^D

Thanks for the offer. Hockey is not my favorite sport. I was in your great state last year traveling from Uvalde to San Antonio all the way up to College Station. I visited my brother in Georgetown and saw the stinking LBJ library in liberal Austin and the great Bush Library in College Station.

Have you checked your FReepmail yet?

[BykrBayb]

Yep. Almost done.

[Spunky]

Great report DFU. Wish I could have been there.

[doug from upland]

I wish all 200,000 who have signed onto FR over the years could have been there.

[BykrBayb]

Done! Check your Freepmail.

[doug from upland]

Got it.

[BykrBayb]

ALL of them? Even the trolls? Now that I think about it, yeah, that would make it more fun. < insert evil cackle >

Our best to the family. The show will be in the archives on Rightalk. It was a great time but I'm still exhausted.
