On Monday night I sang "If I Had a Hammer" with Peter Yarrow at a phone bank in Midtown.

On Tuesday night I reveled and raved with thousands of other proud Americans in Times Square.

On Wednesday night I listened to the Decemberists play "Sons and Daughters" at Terminal 5, and realized for the first time that our generation finally has a chance at redemption -- we no longer have to be the 9/11 Generation, or the George W. Bush Generation.

We can be Generation Obama.

It's Thursday night. I'm at my desk in Astoria, Queens. My country has changed. The world has changed.

And I cannot stop smiling.
