Better Late Than Never

[hrj]

I'm way behind the wave with my inauguration day blogging, but what the heck. I watched the ceremony on the tvs in the company cafeteria -- the place was packed (and a number or regular morning meetings were cancelled so people could watch). Definitely a good "community" experience and lots of cheering. Random loves: when the quartet was playing, I loved watching how much Yoyo Ma was enjoying himself. Loved Aretha's hat. Loved watching those powerful California women during the march of the politicos (even if I don't always agree with their political stands). Loved Obama's speech. Loved that we once again have a president who knows how to use language not simply as a tool in the hands of a master craftsman but as a brush in the hand of an artist. Love getting reacquainted with that thing called hope.
