About town



I'm posting from my phone, and I can't quite do it correctly, but we've had a good day in the nation's capitol. The highlight for me was lunch in the White House mess, right next door to the Situation Room. Honestly, it's all really exciting in your mind. In reality, I sat in an old-fashioned leather dining chair across from a dear friend and ate a black bean veggie burger. The Situation Room door was closed, and everyone spoke in polite, hushed tones. The POTUS was evidently flying back from Korea, so no sightings, although that would have been exciting not just in my mind.

  2. How nice to know someone that works in the Big Place.... . A black bean burger outside the situation room?... now there's a moment. Enjoy your time off on the east coast!

  3. I have never been to DC. I have driven through it. Isn't that odd?
    I'm glad you're there. I wish you could meet the president and share a black bean burger with him.

  4. Damn! I was hoping he'd be there and you could give him some of your wisdom.

    Glad you're at least having a good time. The sunshine looks glorious!

  7. My husband got to see him speak once in Alaska...he said it was truly amazing, how he can command an audience.
