Happy Day

I'm a little gleeful for Tuesday, Inauguration Day.

It was stirring to see Sunday's kick-off, with Barack Obama, the man about to be the first black man elected president, standing at the feet of Abraham Lincoln, in the same spot where Martin Luther King Jr spoke of the dream of equality. I'm not sure that many moments are more possibly poetic and historic.

(Remember early in the campaign when people were asking whether Barack really counted as an "African-American" since his experience growing up was really vastly different than that of many black people in America? Now that's just a detail, he's someone we'll all readily embrace!)

Jason's office is setting up wi-fi in the conference room so that they can all work via laptop and watch the inauguration. Unfortunately, I'm stuck at an offsite in a windowless conference room.
