January 20, 2009 will certainly be a day to remember. Whatever the ultimate legacy of Barack H. Obama, now the 44th president of the United States, on this day people from both sides of the political aisle, of every race, religion and economic station came together (about 2 million in person!) to witness the first African-American take the oath of our highest office.

I'll remember being in a bar/cafe in SOHO (NY) with a work colleague and about 50 strangers, all of us with our eyes glued to the TV and all feeling like somehow we had a new lease on life as individuals and as a nation. Pretty cool.
