You know, I've been trying to figure out what to say here about my trip to Washington, DC. Then I read Garrison Keillor on Salon, and he said it for both of us:
"Meanwhile we have this classy family in the White House, overachievers but gracious about it, mischievous kids and a smart man and a woman who sometimes tosses him glances that say, "Oh, just get over yourself." What their presence says about the decency and generosity of this country is huge, friends, just huge."
Amen.
I was in Washington, DC on January 20th, 2009, and stood in the purple section on the mall for 4 hours.
I wasn't cold.
I wished we were loud enough to fill the very universe with our cheering.
Oh, and I met the President :)
