History...

...in the making.
I couldn't stay awake, but I was physically there when Barack Obama became our 44th president. Mom and Dad told me there was once a time when race was a factor in political campaigns. However, I saw all kinds of people on TV (white, black, and all ethnicities) crying tears of joy. It was the most patriotic day of my 5 + month life.

It's been a very exciting time. To use a analogy, I recently took my first trip on a plane to visit the East Coast part of my family.

Now the country is on its own new flight. I have to ponder the challenges and excitment ahead. What an amazing and wonderful time in which we live!
