amen!

history in the making. we were there. in the extreme cold. among the hordes. who were constantly shouting out "amen!" and randomly hugging people standing next to them. there were tears shed too. a great day to be on the mall and totally worth the hassle. my personal favorite moment was the benediction. as the phraseology (don't care if that's not a word) got sort of seussical, i opened my eyes to look around and i seemed to be the only one not sure if the guy was for real- everyone else still had their eyes closed and were clearly into this prayer. word to browns getting around and yellows being mellow. the low point for me was the booing of any republican- really people?? respect for the office never hurt anyone and no matter how much you disliked dubya, booing at this particular moment was SO distasteful. stay home and boo at your TV please. anyhoo- enjoy the photos and videos by J. i just wasn't feeling picture snappy that day.
