historic inauguration day

some things i will remember:
1. watching President Obama take the oath and his speech with my SF roommates
2. during the quartet: "ok, now is a good time to go poo"
3. the closing lines of Rev. Joseph Lowery's benediction: "we ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to get in back, when brown can stick around ... when yellow will be mellow ... when the red man can get ahead, man; and when white will embrace what is right. That all those who do justice and love mercy say Amen."

Amen.
