Mom and Me

As I've mentioned in an earlier post, my mom will be on this bus trip with me, and I plan to write about our mother/daughter experience as part of this whole package.

She called me today with some pretty exciting news. She apparently received a package in the mail today from the Presidential Inauguration Committee with two invitations in it inviting her to the all of the public inauguration events.

So, of course I'm hoping that means we get closer to the action, but we can't really tell whether the invitations are being sent to lots of people.

Mom contacted her congressman, U.S. Rep. Jack Kingston, of Georgia, months ago about swearing in tickets, and received one of those routine thank you letters that most people get when they contact their congressman. But the tickets that members of Congress get, come from the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, not the Presidential Inaugural Committee.

Did any of you out there get a similar packet today? Let me know, mricks@gannett.com.
