I still have chills as I think about IMing my sister while we watched 1000 miles apart and felt the same things. Proud, united, excited, yes, hopeful. In a cynical world (I like to call myself chief cynic) the idea that so many people, different types of people would stand in the freezing cold to see this amazing thing, well. Wow. Even the sports talk guys were talking about despite politics, how can you not be moved by this amazing day. My kids reported that they watched at school and actually did not find it boring. Thanks Kristin, for not being alone today.
