yes, we can.

i can't believe this day.  i don't know if i'll ever fully appreciate what i witnessed.  at the same time, i don't think i'll ever forget every minute of this historic event.  though it might be a silly story to tell my someday children about how i drank a magners, scarfed a BLT, and fought off tears as i watched president(!) obama being sworn in at "table 4 ladies," but i will certainly tell them.

there's nothing i can say that hasn't been said already.  there are no new thoughts i can have regarding these events.  all i can say is that i feel blessed and exhilarated that i am an american.  it's such a change to feel like that.  i love it.
