A new day dawned in Cairo today. As it does every day.
And it started as it always does: with birds, schoolchildren, and car horns. No national holiday here.
I’m looking forward to going out in the streets to hear the reaction. The best reaction I’ve heard so far: “Black Man Given Nation’s Worst Job.”
Bah humbug. I confess I’m moved.

Thank you all for your kind comments. They are balm to my heart after these eight years. I particularly was moved by The Skeptic. I am the eternal optimist but rely on “my” skeptics to keep me centered.
My flag is flying today!
