Are you feeling emotional this Inauguration Day?

This might be the most historic day in modern American history. Regardless of political beliefs, it is a wonderful day to be an American.

I started volunteering at the national headquarters of Obama for America on April 11, 2007. (Here is a post from my first day – wish I had kept blogging about it!) Winning the primary, let alone the election, was beyond a long shot. However, the energy in the office was palpable.

Senator Obama wanted a phone number Americans could call and talk to a real person. I became one of the people who answered. Often three-days a week I would leave my office for a three-hour shift. The call center started out as 4 phones; by election night rooms were filled with people on the phone.

In a few short hours, as he takes the oath of office, the Obama honeymoon will be over. While we are all still enjoying it, I thought I’d share my very small part in this very large day.

I would love to hear how you are feeling today.

The season opener for the Chicago Cubs is today on the road. Home open is at Wrigley a week from today. There is always such optimism with Cubs opening day.

Below is a home video I came across today of the 1929 World Series at Wrigley Field. It features the Philadelphia A’s playing our beloved Chicago Cubs.

Here is to hoping Wrigley might host October baseball in 2007.

Bank of America and MBNA merged. Two corporate guys decided that they should write and perform a take off of U2’s ‘One’ to celebrate.

I love that they take it so seriously�

I love that they get a standing ovation at the end of it…

I love that someone leaked it so all of us could enjoy!!

YouTube and online video has exploded onto the scene. Its power is undeniable. However, most of the links to videos that people forward through email have contained nothing more than Asian students in dorm rooms lip singing Justin Timberlake.

That is starting to change. Groups of independent producers are creating a wide variety of videos. Here is one that was emailed to me today that is really creative!
