I stayed up long enough to make sure to see the moment: Bush getting into the helicopter and the Obamas and Bidens waving, waving goodbye, everyone on the Mall waving goodbye at last, cheering. Not in a vicious way, on the whole, but with a lift of relief.<BR/><BR/>Also, I love the Ink Spots so much, how odd you would mention them.

Millions of people at the capital--the like that old-time D.C. pundits have never seen--who felt personally hopeful and empowered. Almost everyone I've talked to has had some sort of "what am I going to do now (to make a difference) question on their lips.<BR/><BR/>That is SO much different than the questions heard all through the Bush years..."what can I do?"--which was said with hopelessness, resignation, and disgust.<BR/><BR/>Isn't it worthwhile to give ourselves over to hope?<BR/>I think so.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your part in that!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229875339727095184.post-34538021185914252982009-01-21T10:52:00.000-06:002009-01-21T10:52:00.000-06:00*staggers to computer, groaning*Though I'm feeling...*staggers to computer, groaning*<BR/><BR/>Though I'm feeling oddlly unwell this morning, it was a great celebration--thank you!--of the inauguration of Barack Hussein Obama, 44th President of the United States of America!Frescahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323129046492056942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229875339727095184.post-10300482849827229152009-01-21T08:25:00.000-06:002009-01-21T08:25:00.000-06:00Last night at our celebration I had one of those F...Last night at our celebration I had one of those Fullness of Time experiences. As we drank wine and ate good food with loved ones I felt hopeful that The Moment we toasted could be (will be?) the beginning of something powerful that will last long after we're all gone.<BR/>Cheers! (this time with a cup of coffee) to Barack Obama, 44th President of the United States of America.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
