(I chickened out) for the inauguration to come for munch-lunch and celebration 11:00am Tuesday 20-February. I'll put on a pot of soup and do my best to master streaming so I can project the event with the LCD. There is also TV in another room. No end time. Come and go as you wish except 12 to 1 be here and hush! Then we make noise. They'll hear us in Washington. Bring whatever you wish or nothing. The address is 764 Hawthorne Lane, Rock Hill. From Cherry Road turn onto Charlotte, travel 5 blocks to Hawthorne, turn left, go 1-1/2 blocks, park on the street. When you see a little red car with Obama sticker in the driveway (on your right) you are at the right place. From Glencairn Gardens go past the Y, past the Oratory, then the next right onto Hawthorne. Tinker toys for the kiddies in a separate room.
