Today's a neat day.
Regardless if you voted McCain, Obama or yourself, regardless if you're 6 or 106, regardless if you spent today at home, work or Nebraska Furniture Mart's TV department, chances are good you tuned in to history as Barack H. Obama was sworn in as the 44th president of the United States.
The good ole US of A is filled with a lot of people, and all different people at that. But today we all have one thing in common, as 1.20.09 marks the beginning of a new era. Today is something that brought Americans together. Today, infamous musicians and award winning movie stars traded the red carpet for bundling up and interspersing on the national mall with millions of other everyday Americans. Employees ate lunch together in conference rooms, eyes glued to the television. DVRs were erased to make room for today's coverage. If deleting a full season of Desperate Housewives doesn't say "I care about the inauguration," I don't know what does.
So, yeah. Today's cool. I look forward to watching America evolve and improve under our new leadership. But for now, I've got to continue to hunt for a white turtleneck.
