[Collimator]

5. Was talking to someone about this earlier today.

It is incredibly challenging to build and foster that sort of energy when the performers are in separate locations. Color me impressed.

6. I thought that was

“Zoom-The Musical!”

Great sound, great tone and you almost forgot everyone was just virtually working together. Just like most of do everyday if you are fortunate enough to work from home.

Last night was awesome. I cried tries of joy and for the hate, hurt and inhuman USA is over for now. Let the Sunshine and let us get working on a Democratic super majority sworn in
I cannot get over the difference of the same place from The site of murder spree planned coup transformed to something of absolute beauty in 2 weeks. Let’s here it for the crew!

President Biden greatest gift would be fix everything that is broke while breaking the imperial Presidency so we don’t have a repeat of the last four years. That is my dream. Real enforcement power on checks and balances of executive power rather with defined codified limits. I want it in law and not a DOJ memos. Not sure about anyone else but subpoena and discovery where never optional on any lawsuits I’ve been involved with.

7. I thought the inauguration celebration show last night was breathtaking.

I soooo much enjoyed every second of it. It's hard to single out any single performer or individual participant - which includes those regular people who were showcased doing individually remarkable selfless deeds. It was all so refreshing after the past nightmarish four years. Actually, it's really the most wonderful show I've watched in a very long time. So very entertaining and uplifting. EVERY inauguration from now forward should be done in the same manner. At least it invites everyone in America who wants to feel included to the celebration, whereas in all the years past, it was private and intended for the glitterati and the blue stockings (donors), etc. going to to their endless By-Inivitation-Only balls. When the Washington Memorial lit up with fireworks, it looked as if it had achieved lift-off. What a spectacle for the eyes. And yet, it seemed personal. Or at least it worked that way for me.

ETA: One of the special performers who read part of John Kennedy's inauguration speech, was Braydon Harrington, the youngster who Joe Biden mentored because Braydon, as a stutterer, had been bullied as a middle schooler, as was Joe Biden at the same age. It was remarkable, really.

Oh, and I was also blown away by the Black Pumas. I'm from Texas (don't make it down to Austin often), but I had never heard them before, and I was wowed.

10. That's got to be Charlotte D'amboise dancing at the end, right?

I recognized quite a few faces, but not all of them.
