As I told D last night, it feels really good to be young and alive in America right now.
Today is the inauguration day and for the first time in my life, I am going to be glued to the TV for all the festivities. In fact, I'm having a little brunch party with Tarah & Keya, my English department besties (and, conveniently, both fantastic cooks). I'll mix the mimosas while they whip up quiche and waffles and, in spite of a harrowing job market in academia (one that Stanley Fish argues is on its way out for good), a bleak economy, and cold and gray January day, we will celebrate Barack Obama's inauguration and what it means for this country as we look forward to the future... with hope.
Cheers!
