Change is gonna come

Today I cried in the car when I heard a young child on This American Life reading the first ten things that Obama should do once he's inaugurated.

I'm staying with a friends' family in Maryland right outside of D.C. and will be traveling into the city in the morning to be among the masses. I realize that I have no idea what I'm in for. This is perhaps the most historic moment of my lifetime, and I feel so blessed to have taken the opportunity to be here. I just hope I can recall it later with any sort of meaningful accuracy.

It snowed all the way through half of Tennessee and most of Virginia. I felt like we were tiny particles weaving in and out of the grooves of a sugar cookie. I've never known a country-side to be more beautiful.
