It is actually (finally) happening. In past years, the lead up to the hand off seemed to go by without much thought, and within the quick flutter of an eyelid.
The last few months, to me, have dragged towards the date January 20, 2009. This date forever will be etched in my mind. Unlike November 22, or September 11 though this will be a date that represents hope, promise, and pride, not sadness or pain.
I admit I feel homesick for the grand old US of A. Though the Vancouverites seem to share in the Obamaphoria of many folks the world over, they don't have the embarrassment, and/or guilt of being one of the ugly Americans the world has grown to despise over the last 8 years.
I wish you all, American and otherwise, a happy inauguration day tomorrow and forward.
