I've Been Happy Lately, Thinking About Good Things to Come

Four years ago, when Bush took office for the second time, I remember thinking, My God, Henry will be TEN years old when he finally leaves. It was incredibly depressing -- the thought -- and now that we've been through it, it was.

But Henry is ten years old, and tomorrow we'll have a new president. I'm fighting the urge to be nonchalant, to not let the hype and hyperbole get to me. Part of it has, but what lies beneath it is something so powerfully significant that I hardly know what to think or write. A couple of my blogger friends posted this old video of Cat Stevens' singing "Peace Train." Maybe it's the flowered guitar, maybe it's the words, maybe it's the goofiness or maybe it's the innocence, but I love it.

See you tomorrow!
