It's a new day

[shah_of_blah]

I'm a little behind with the online stuff.  Why?  Because I've been caught up in the invasion of my nation's capital.  I went on Sunday to the Lincoln Memorial for the concert, and I've just returned from You Know What.  Both were awesome.  I'm so glad I went.  It was chaotic, as this city is just not built for such an influx of people (especially people who don't know the Capitol from the White House, or those who think the National Mall is a shopping center).  It was chaotic, but so wonderful.  Anyway, I just kind of want to tell everyone I know that I was there.  And my feet hurt.  I may write up some sort of account of my day at some point but I am too tired at the moment.

Aw, yay for you! What a fantastic thing that you can say you were there.

I'm feeling positively giddy right now (and jealous that you were there; my husband and I were thinking of flying to DC for the occasion but we both start teaching tomorrow... so it just wasn't going to be). This is a great moment, and I'm rejoicing that I've been given the opportunity to live through it. I can't even imagine the electricity that must be in the DC air right now...

Wow. That must have been immense and amazing. And cold. :-) Rest those feet!

I know its been a day but I still can't believe it. It seems so surreal to me still. I live in MD but our assembly is in session and since I work for them, I couldn't get off. But our entire office watched it together, it was a moment. This morning I went and collected newspaper for my scrapbook. WOW, we just witnessed history.

Sorry your feet hurt. *hugs*

Oh man, I am so envious. I was stuck in Massachusetts watching the inauguration on a tiny tv in a room with 10 people.
