It never seemed like today would come. That’s the thought that I had over and over again yesterday, right up until - with my own eyes - I witnessed actual earth being moved in the name of building D.C. United a stadium. It was not a dream, or a hallucination. I was there. There are people who can testify to my whereabouts at the time, photographs, video, dirt from the site between the treads of my shoes, a SmarTrip card used to get to Navy Yard...it happened.
It happened. The seemingly impossible happened.
I suppose it’s not fair to say that it “never” seemed like today would come.
