Anyone who knows me well, knows that I'm a crier. In the words of Jude Law in The Holiday, "I'm a weeper." I cry at movies, The Holiday certainly among them. I cry at news stories. I cry reading books. Looks toward my wife often bring tears. Hell, I cry at commercials. Before today, I've never cried at the inauguration of a president. Today, I did. I also tend to tear up every time I see the Obama daughters, not because they are sad little girls -- of course! -- but because it makes me so very filled with happiness and hope to see these faces reflecting now from the White House. And for the first time, I cried when I heard Hail to the Chief played for Obama for the first time at the Congressional luncheon. I like it.
