I took a vacation day, sat at home and watched the inauguration all day until I finally burned-out on the parade. It was great. I admire Obama and Michelle even more for being able to maintain their freshness through out. The C-Span coverage was raw as if you were there with your own video camera. I hardly moved from my couch and a potato I'm not.

I listened to all the interviews, how the people in the crowds, especially we African descendants, were having spiritual moments. I was have my own.. In this, we were connected. I saw people their holding Canadian flags. I thought about Ice Princess2. I thought about their descendants who years ago, were fortunate enough to escape the oppression that was once America. They were there to celebrate with us.

The moment was momentous and this date was filed in my mind as a treasured memory.
