Change we can believe in

This is off-topic for our little blog, but I just want to take the time to note that yesterday was a very remarkable day in America because of the inaguration of Barack Obama as our new President. There's a bombardment of hype and editorializing, and I admit that am hard-wired as a skeptic, but it just feels great and I for one am so glad and honored to have that man as our leader. My boss Charlie said it well: our economy runs on perception. Even if that's all that Obama can bring to the table (and I certainly believe he has a heck of a lot more to offer) then as a nation we're already in better shape than we were on Monday.
