What a wonderful and spontaneous report, Darryl, thank you!
I've been watching the ceremony only on TV, but I received a similar
impression - moving.
Of course reality will set back in - but this experience is real too.
Perhaps the series of observed fireballs during the last days and nights
only happened to arrange a nice firework to honor the 44th President of the
USA ;-)
So just keep on smiling.
My best,
Matthias Baermann

Bernd and List,
I wasn't going to comment on this, but, just returned from the inaugural.
It was cold. And it was breathtaking being part of this mass of
humanity.
My day job is managing the careers of musicians---primarily black jazz
musicians, two of whom performed at an inaugural event last night. And
what has struck me so profoundly in Washington the last few days is how
total strangers, regardless of race, creed or color---are so unusually
friendly with one another. It felt like I was peering into an
alternative reality. When I mentioned this to a black friend, she
mentioned she noticed the same and said something rather striking: "It's
as everyone here is revealing what we really all want; it's what humanity
naturally craves...and that's feeling a sense of togetherness....and now
there is a moment bringing us together and not a moment too soon."
What a day. Looking forward to the inaugural balls tonight before
reality sets back in.
Wishing everyone the best---where ever you are---particularly those in
greatest need.
Still cold (but smiling)...
Darryl
