"Euphoria"
At last, the end of the Bush era and a new day for the country. While all the news channels were continuing their coverage- sitting outside in the cold interviewing the hoards of people on the mall- I was heading to Ocala to take advantage of the $1.75M cosmetics settlement. It was tough to convince my politically addicted mother to join me, but she eventually agreed. We picked up our free bottle of “Euphoria” and realized that if we could just find a TV, we’d be able to catch Obama’s inaugural speech. As we drove by the VW dealership, I remembered their big screen TV and gourmet coffee machine. We pulled in and found a waiting room filled with people, all glued to the TV screen- mechanics, car salesmen, office workers. It was an amazing experience- to watch our new president take the oath of office – feeling the hope and – ironically- the feeling of “Euphoria” in the air.
