I'm reminded of the time I saw JFK(the first one)in person when--
I see all that is going on in Boston(I live in the area)

I was out of my mind with excitement.

1. Those were the good old days before the nightmare of the 60's set in

I grew up in the northeast but am now living in N.C. so I was out of my mind with excitement in anticipation of Edwards getting picked for VP and then a week of elation, so I can imagine how you are even more excited over Kerry and the convention in Boston.

2. I am a fan of Camelot also.
I never got to see JFK in person.
I live in the DC 'burbs and I also feel the excitement.
