America is changing and I'm not a part of it

Obama is going to be our president and even strangers today in the pool congratulated me about it. Seeing the headlines on yahoo's homepage made me realize that I'm really not a part of it. We've been out of the country since the end of August so we missed so much of the publicity, the voting and now the inauguration. This is a big moment for America and we're half way around the world. The same thing happened to Dave for 9/11. He was in Asia when that happened so his view of it all is so different from mine as I experienced in in America.
I'm not writing this so you feel bad or anything, it's totally fine. I'm just thinking out loud. It's just interesting, that's all.
