I can no longer trust my back and sciatic nerve if I have to stand on hard surfaces for long periods. I would be on my feet for many hours if I went down there. (and who knows what the weather will be in Jan.?)

In Nov.,1969, I rode a bus from Kansas for 24 hours to the "March Against Death" in Washington DC. Slept in a church, heard Pete Seeger & Arlo Guthrie sing from the Lincoln Memorial (though not NEAR close enough to see them), then got back on the bus with the worse backache I ever had and rode 24 hours home.
   That was my introduction to huge crowds and cold...with pain... I will watch on TV, thank you. I was in my 30s then.
