Sunday in DC
Jan. 18th, 2009 07:47 pmHad brunch with an old friend from high school, then came back and finished off the freelance gig from hell. Tonight, back to the revisions. But for now, I'm about to take over the kitchen to make garlic steak and spinach risotto, accompanied by a 1997 Brunello.
(time passes)
Watching the replay of the 'We are One' Concert at The Memorial. We stood for the national anthem. Can't remember the last time I felt that urge. Sang along with Bruce, and cried (I always cry at 'The Rising.). Sang along with Mary Bilge, even as we were marveling at her 6" heels. Were rapt during the speeches. Feel the surge of hope coming through the land again. Even I, cautious and cynical,feel it.
"things are gonna be much better, if you only will."
ETA: Anyone else hold their breath waiting for Samuel L Jackson to let slip with an "I got on that bus to go home, m**********r?"
Also? As much as I am inspired by Obama? I <3 Joe Biden.
How's everyone else spending this Inauguration weekend?
