Richard Rodriguez inauguration day essay on good-byes

On inauguration day, just a few short weeks ago, I was driving home alone in the evening, listening to News Hour on the radio (I guess it plays on the radio, who knew?), and closing up the hour was this Richard Rodriguez essay:

As Obama Takes Office, Another President Says Good-bye

Rodriguez mulls on Presidential good-byes, and also the significance of good-byes in general. I found it to be quite powerful. It’s four and a half minutes — give it a listen if you get the chance.
