Obama's inaugration

For the historic inaugration earlier this week, I went with a friend to a Spanish club (looked like a country club) and convinced them to change the channel from the soccer game to the news channel in the bar.

Folks who came in after us were respectful of us and went into the adajcent room to socialize. One man sat down at the neighboring table and watched along with us.

No one asked to change the channel even though we were there for quite a few hours. This was especially nice, because, these were some of the proudest hours I've had in a long, long time and I was glad to celebrate them in public.

I might put the Inaugural Address up on my wall.

I have this feeling after the Inauguration(and I hope others have it too): Right now it's not "What can we accomplish?" it's "What can't we accomplish?"
