Not an easy thing for a Socal dude to endure 15 degree weather. Way to take one for the team. Excellent blog. I agree with you 100%. As a fellow Afro-Am, I feel a certain pride about this country that I never have felt before. I know EXACTLY what Michelle Obama meant by being "really proud of the country" for the first time. What happened in DC on Jan 20 was impossible to me to fathom just a year ago. It's hard for others who are not Afro Am to understand. We now KNOW that we belong. We now KNOW that we too can be anything in America. I guess it's true that no matter how screwy things get, Americans always eventually get it right. There are now 35 million more true patriots in America today.
