Dear Spike:
Will you shiver when you hear this speech?
Yes, I know you’ll probably shrug.
What is historic for me will be history to you.
A black man in the White House?
OK, you’ll say. That’s fine.
Now give me a woman.
Give me an immigrant.
Give me a homosexual.
For this is the way of our Republic.
The way of our Revolution.
Thirst.
Insatiable.
For a more perfect union.
Love,
dad

My daughter turns 21 tomorrow and we "shared" the event yesterday via text message. I, watching at work and she, in her apartment. She let me go with her when she cast her first ballot for president and she shared her feelings as "our" president took his Oath. Spike may have missed the day but she will not miss the results.
