[meteorite-list] Barack Obama - 44th President of the United States of America

[Darryl Pitt]

Bernd and List,

I wasn't going to comment on this, but, just returned from the  
inaugural.

It was cold.  And it was breathtaking being part of this mass of  
humanity.

My day job is managing the careers of musicians---primarily black jazz  
musicians, two of whom performed at an inaugural event last night.   
And what has struck me so profoundly in Washington the last few days  
is how total strangers, regardless of race, creed or color---are so  
unusually friendly with one another.  It felt like I was peering into  
an alternative reality. When I mentioned this to a black friend, she  
mentioned she noticed the same and said something rather striking:   
"It's as everyone here is revealing what we really all want; it's what  
humanity naturally craves...and that's feeling a sense of  
togetherness....and now there is a moment bringing us together and not  
a moment too soon."

What a day.  Looking forward to the inaugural balls tonight before  
reality sets back in.

Wishing everyone the best---where ever you are---particularly those in  
greatest need.


Still cold (but smiling)...

Darryl
