So, the bossman walks in today and immedately cancels a haircut so he can see the ignaguration. Didn't even dawn on me that we would be able to see in on the web. So at 10:30 I tuned in and totally got ticked because the feed was SO bad. Everyone and their mother must have been logged on to see it - because it stopped all the time and froze and the sound wasn't even on the same page as the video. So I went to the radio and listened to his speech and then cried and cried.
But the good kind of cry. The kind of tears that afirm "amen" to what he was saying. I SO hope he can unite this country.
No matter what your politics were today you had to feel part of something larger than yourself. Amazing pride of the huge step our country has taken. Less than 40 years ago not everyone had the same rights. Feels good to get it right. :-)
