and graciousness. I honestly don't know if they are that good or the last 4 years were that bad - Ok the last 4 years were that bad. But these two people just make me glad to be alive and see them do their thing. They are both awesome and now I have to go and find a tissue. Thanks, guys. You make me believe that perhaps we can make a better future.
