America the Beautiful
My oldest daughter called from Washington, D.C., this morning at about 7:15 a.m. “We made it!” she screamed. “We made it into the city. You can’t believe it. So many people. I sat next to a guy on the metro who came here from Ghana just for this! It’s amazing. This is the happiest place ever!”
It’s a new day, America. We can all be proud. And hopeful.

Glad she made it to DC! I was on the Mall too. Having lived in the area for eight years, I can be jaded about politics; there was none of that today.

Just got back from a neighborhood gathering where we toasted the new president and the new administration. Hope is sweeping the country.
