Brand New Day (Era. Country, World, whatever. . .)

Wow, what a day. And in the words of Tim Russert, what a country! I am finally proud to be an American again! Whew!

It's been a emotional day. I cried all through the inauguration ceremony. I would have loved to have been in a crowd watching it--there was a live thing going on at the Kenworthy, or even with a few friends, but I'm babysitting today and it just wouldn't have worked with a two-year-old in tow. So I sat here and cried alone. So different from the tears I shed four years ago. Those were tears of anger and despair and fear and bitterness. This is a different feeling--hope?

Welcome back, hope. It's been a while!
