SOUTH BEND, Ind.—An 83-year-old South Bend man said he missed his bus home from the presidential inauguration because he was dancing. Mussa Muhammad said his "spirit jumped sky-high" when President Barack Obama took the oath of office Tuesday. He became separated from his group and, he said, "just danced and danced" with a couple of young women he met along the way. (more at link)

End of WW2 feeling for me..yea and I was not even there, but have you seen the kiss with the sailor and the young woman in Times square pic from then?
on edit.
We watched all day all weekend and the day of inaugural into the night as
President and Mrs Obama danced at each ball.
We are disappointed about Warren and snub of Bishop Robinson.
I turned down the tv and husbear turned his back, I left the room.
Though I did not hear a repeat of Warrens 'prayer' or did notice that a lot of msnbcs news commentary completely ignored that he was there.

10. Lovely story
Muhammad said he got on the wrong bus and got off in Pittsburgh, where he took a Greyhound bus home.

He earned his free time. :D
