What a scene. What a sight. Everywhere you turn, cold but happy faces, cheerful people, more American flags than I have seen in a long time in one location.
Millions waiting in joyful anticipation on a day that is so very cold. Hundreds of thousands came to the Mall last night and never left. How they survived the wind chill of 9 degrees is beyond my comprehension.
Oh yes, we've seen a few notables. We ran right into Mariah Carey and Arnold, the governor of California – not together, of course. The celeb sightings are what they are.
The BEST sightings? Young children on the shoulders of their parents, waving small American flags.
What a day.
