Okay, I normally don't succumb to emotional mushiness (have to maintain my "guy" image, right? LOL!), but this morning I was driving into D.C. and had one of "those" moments.
For those who may not know the area, if you drive in on East Capitol Street (heading east toward D.C.), there's a spot where you come up a gentle rise, and then you get a view of the Capitol and the Washington Monument beyond RFK stadium.
It just struck me as I saw that today how much our nation has really changed, not only since the United States was founded, but just in the last decade. There's good and bad, yes, but - regardless of your political views - we've really entered a whole new era of possibility, haven't we? And as far as I'm concerned, that's a very good thing...
Cheers,
Mike
