I'm so hesitantly hopeful!

I hope you got to hear the inauguration; I watched it online for a time, until the video feed was overloaded, and listened via ever-reliable NPR. What a moment! Millions on the Capitol grounds, history on the cold breeze. What a moment this is!

I'm sure one day Obama will disappoint us, because he is human. But in the mean time and through that, we'll at least be free of the embarrassment who worked so hard to destroy our nation over the past 8 years, and at best hold hope for the future and for progress and for advancement and freedom from the fear that we've been fed for nearly a decade.

Hope and freedom: This is a new day.

I'm so excited! And fearful of feeling so excited, but damn it all, I'm looking forward to it all.
