Reply #8: Someone just shook my hand in the grocery store!

I am wearing my Obama sweatshirt. And the man stocking the bakery shelves looked at me and asked if I was going to watch the inauguration. There was a brilliance in our exchange. A relief. I said it felt as though we have been repressed. And how there is so much optimism among the American people that seems to have been bottled up. He gleamed and held out his hand in a gesture that said, yes this is the dawning of a new era. And we shook hands.

I actually started to cry. Haha.
