I got into DC last night, it was a great trip with the only hiccup being my bag got delayed and was not delivered until 1:30 PM today. It made us a little late leaving for the concert but really was not bad at all. It was quite a day and I can not begin to imagine what Tuesday is going to be like. We were at the Capitol with about half million of our closest friends and EVERYONE was smiling, dancing and laughing. I began the day with a bit of dread about being in a crowd that large and finished the day in amazement and remembrance that we are better than what we show to the world. There were people from all walks of life, speaking many languages and having various shades of skin color yet sharing a common ideal. The conversations I have had in the last two days show me we are on the path of change...for the better. They are honest and open conversations that I have never had with a stranger in the US prior to this election, I am only hopeful this is the beginning.
I got to see John Legend preform with James Taylor and if you know me well you know what that means to me! We saw Usher, Bruce, Garth and Josh, we listened to Samuel Jackson, Marissa Tomei and Tom Hanks. We picked up a couple of trinkets and stayed warm with "Hot Hands" hand warmers. Many of you know I hate the cold but would do this again in a heartbeat! I feel very blessed to be here...what a way to begin my trip!
