Because they will ask, right? Someday they will ask where I was and how I felt.
I will tell them that I watched everything unfold on TV - and grumbled over the fact that I was so close and yet so far to the millions of people who flooded the capital today.
I will tell them that I clapped my hands and stood on the couch as President Obama walked out on to the stage to cheers.
I will tell them that I was gitty with excitement and so proud of the confident man who now represents my country. The President who believes that "people will judge you on what you build, not what you destroy."
