The Inauguration

I worked from home today, having long ago conceded that I would not be able to make it to my office and back home given all of the road closings for the inauguration. I stopped working long enough to watch the (botched) swearing-in ceremony and Obama's inaugural address. I don't share the politics of many of the folks who stood in the cold to see the inauguration, but I was touched by the scenes of older African-Americans who never thought they would see a black president. We really do live in a great country.
