Very good. Well, there’s a phenomenon at work around Obama, among African-American people, that is highly charged with the kind of emotion that one more often sees connected with family.

One thing I see little discussion about is the behavior of the crowd at the inaugural. I’ll admit I was concerned about my son being in DC late at night with a couple of million people. It’s not the most crime free city my any stretch, but for one night at least, everyone was high on the hope thing and it was very crime free.
