This was truly one of those "where were you" moments.  Right up there with the assassination of Kennedy, the explosion of the Challenger, and the 9/11 terrorists attacks, years from now we will all remember where we were watching the inauguration of America's first African American president.  President Obama need not accomplish anything else in his presidency.  He has already made history.  He has already made a name for himself and a legacy for his family.

My kids, who daily come home with some new sign or a phrase from a foreign language, yesterday came home with the President's strange name on their tongues.  My five-year old watched the inauguration with his classmates.  Parents, teachers, and kids chattered about the historic event through the school's halls. 

Today we get back to life as usual, work as usual for me and politics as usual for Barack Obama.  But wow - what an exciting (and teachable) moment.  So, where were you?
