My duet with Aretha
I've had a lump in my throat all day today, as I've been watching the inauguration of PRESIDENT Barack Obama, and when Aretha Franklin began singing My Country T'is of Thee, I couldn't help but belt out the tune myself. (Fortunately, no one else is home.)
What an amazing day! I'm brimming with pride and with hope.

yes, an amazing day (evening here), indeed...
Yeah, this was a pretty special day. We recorded the entire inauguration on DVD, and we're saving the disk for our son. I always want him to remember this moment.
I teared up when Aretha started singing, so I didn't have much of a chance to sing myself.
It was one of the best days. I was über proud to stand up here and say Yep! I'm American!
Amazing day, but that was one UGLY hat! :)
What an amazing day. Truly. And I was all lumpy-throated, too. And many a tear was shed.
Yeah, Aretha's hat was EVERYWHERE: http://www.buzzfeed.com/expresident/arethas-hat-is-everywhere
(tee hee!)
Frankly, I liked her hat way better than her rendition of the song. In fact, I winced in several spots.
the hat was o.k. it was the bow that was a little bit out of this world. oh my. but aretha, you're voice is amazing! u can certainly get away with one giant bow!
