I watched from the lobby of an arts center with about 50 others via choppy internet feed with no audio that kept kicking out, NPR via boom box and an old TV someone found and managed to get the local fox channel via rabbit ears. None of it was in sync.

The quartet choked me up. The scale of the crowd was mind blowing. There was a site of Bush hugging Obama that got me, too. Peaceful transfer and all that. The line about science got big applause in our lobby.

Oh, and Judge Roberts was the one who flubbed the line! That's ok. It worked.

For me, it was a day of smiles, and reserve, not cynicism. A good day.
