Not just the first African American - but how many others raised by a single mother? Who else had an immigrant father and a fleet of step and half siblings to their name? How many of us have been through tough times early in life that have held us back - maybe in our own minds more than for others - and for all of us Obama is such a model of reflection, discipline, passion, kindness, strength, and personal growth over fear, regret, and small thinking. I was running a conference on global health with mainly international attendees on the morning of the inauguration. There was unanimous consensus that the proceedings should be postponed so we all could watch this amazing moment. On a more quotidian note, today's sunrise over the Cascades and Olympics was stunning. Did you capture it from 122 N. 59th? Look forward to tracking your stories, news and insights more regularly, and posting too.

I would add some other important historical days including when Lehman Brothers imploded and 9/11. Probably because I live in New York. Hi Joel and welcome back.
