Still high...

Amanda Gorman's poem deepens my conviction that this coming generation is going to a great generation like none we've seen, and Yo Yo Ma, the beautiful comforting voice, the happiness, the Amazing Grace.

And then there's that old white guy, sprinting around the White House filled with fire, as if with a magic wand, expelling demons.

That old white guy makes me feel so much better about being an old white guy, which has been something of an embarrassment of late.

Suddenly I feel, at least, the joy of youth.

Yo Yo Ma, how beautiful, how unbelievably beautiful:



This old man is glad to have lived to see this!!!!!
