#Microblog Monday 520: Inauguration Day

Not sure what #MicroblogMondays is? Read the inaugural post which explains the idea and how you can participate too.

*******

I didn’t realize until I flipped over my planner page that Inauguration Day aligns with Martin Luther King Jr. Day. It may happen more often than I think, and I just haven’t noticed since we only have an inauguration every four years. Though looking it up, it has happened only twice before this: the second inaugurations of Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.

So maybe not that often if it’s only the third time.

Are you also doing #MicroblogMondays? Add your link below. The list will be open until Tuesday morning. Link to the post itself, not your blog URL. (Don’t know what that means? Please read the three rules on this post to understand the difference between a permalink to a post and a blog’s main URL.) Only personal blogs can be added to the list. I will remove any posts connected to businesses or sponsored posts.

That seems…incongruous this time. Well, at least my kids will be home that day.

I checked — MLK Day only became an official national U.S. holiday in 1986. There may have been other Inauguration Days in the past that fell on the third Monday in January, when it’s celebrated, during MLK’s lifetime.

P.S. I absent-mindedly entered my info into the Linky box and not above, and somehow it pulled up a past #MM post! I’ll be posting my ACTUAL/current #MM post shortly… you can delete that first one, if you like! Thanks!

My husband called my attention to horrible calendar alignment this year. How awful. How utterly against everything Martin Luther King, Jr stood for.
Also, more horrible human fodder… he’s upset the flag will be half mast for a departed president because it mars the look of his inauguration? So very predictable, but also no less gross.
Sigh.
