history...

did you relish in the history of today?

i will confess, i am a political junkie, i love it, i love every minute of it. when the election was over it was a bit sad to not have something to read about some candidate every day.

today, january 20th, 2009... is day that will go down in history. i suppose it's a good thing our kid didn't come today, because otherwise, someone would say, "oh that's the day history was made and they would say... oh i was thinking that it was my birthday" :)

regardless of your views on mr. obama or his politics, i hope you were able to in some way, in some fashion, enjoy the enormity of today, relish the moment of history, the history that WE lived...that WE lived to tell our kids and grandkids about someday.
i watched as a reporter interviewed person after person who said... i'm here for my great grandpa who was a slave. i'm here to be a witness for him, that a black man can become president of the united states!.... i listened as a 10 yr old boy said.. "it means that when people see black men on tv they won't think of them as thieves and criminals, but instead as doctors, lawyers, or presidents."

if that doesn't leave an impression, i don't know what does.
