Here’s what was on my radar this historic morning:

- Large masses of people, all working together to keep things safe.
- Tears streaming down the face of an elderly black woman.
- Cheers, laughter and yells.
- Booing Bush one last time.
- Wishing I was a foot taller.
- Thinking about Presdient Obama, and his family.
- Thinking about Vice-President Biden, and his family.
- Thinking about the living presidents on stage.
- 2.5 million people. And how lucky I was to be one of them.
- How the whole world was watching that Capital.
- 1776.
- The forefathers.
- Civil Rights leaders.
- Civil Right martyrs.
- Simple, courageous acts of civil disobedience.
- My mom and dad and sisters back home in Michigan.
- How relieved I was to have Bush off the job.
- The pomp.
- The history.
- The honor.
- Patrolling jets, and the spider web of security watching the Capital.
- Tired feet.
- Inspired hearts.
- The power, and possibility.
- Muhammad Ali, and where he was sitting up on that stage.
- Absolutely no mention of Senator McCain. Or Palin. Of Republicans.
- How good I feel about all of this.
- Just how the rest of the world feels about us, and where we could go.
- Cell phones, and networks pushed to the limit.
- Honest Abe Lincoln, and his continued reach through the ages.
- The technology in the Presidential Limo “USA1”.
- How cool Obama is, and how cool that is for the rest of us.
- Michele and her grace.
- The littlest Obama girl Sasha, and that big smile.
- What it would have like to meet Obama, years back.
- Joe Biden’s facelift.
- Cheney’s snarl, and how he can fuck right off back to Wyoming.
- Obama’s smile, and how he how welcomed he is into it all.
- Little kids on shoulders, and how they’d remember this day.
- What a great country this is…
- …and with some work, how much better it could be.

Here’s my take on this one: DDC vs. DC, Day 06
