Live blogging the inaugural

Lori and I are bundled up and are headed down to the Capitol to find our places for the swearing-in. The event begins at 10:00 (9:00 Arkansas time), and the inaugural address will take place at noon eastern. We'll be in the standing area on the west front of the Capitol.

It will be challenging blogging from the west front of the Capitol without a laptop, so our plan is to blog from my iPhone (assuming I get service in the crowd) and post pictures by emailing them to my office in Texarkana from my phone. After the parade, I'll come back and post the pictures from my good camera.

I'm going to go ahead and embed my cell phone video camera here and will post live feeds throughout the day.



We're staying in far NW DC at the home of Linda Jewell, former ambassador to Ecuador. Linda is a Little Rock native and graduated from Hall High before going to Yale -- very gracious hosts.
