Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

So Oz was in the kitty house, looking cute. So I decided to take a pic. [link] As soon as Oz left, Clio got in, which she hasn't done in years, clearly saying, "Aren't I cute too." But she doesn't stay still long enough for pics. [link]

What is even happening?

Oz just killed me dead, Sue.

Here's a far-off shot of the Obamas and Bidens (you can get a tiny look at Jill's coat and boots).

Love this picture [link] Jill Biden.

I love that she's listed as Dr. Jill Biden at whitehouse.gov.

Our wings are not tired.

Yeah, I really liked hearing "Vice President and Dr. Biden" today.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Oz just killed me dead, Sue.

I like the caption, "cat 006". Does Oz have a license to kill?

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

I know he has more important things to do than keep me informed, and don't misunderstand me, I want him to focus on those other matters, but it would really be nice to have a little 15-30 minute this-is-what-was-accomplished-today broadcast daily from Obama. It would be my highlight.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

it would really be nice to have a little 15-30 minute this-is-what-was-accomplished-today broadcast daily from Obama.

Does anyone know if the YouTube weekly addresses will also be available as video podcasts?

YouTube weekly addresses

He's doing this? Is it appropriate to Squee over a President?

I am tired. I am over the moon. My feet hurt. I think I missed a call from Kat, but the recording was garbled, so I can't tell. I walked from Union Station to the Washington Monument a long way. And back. I got stuck in human gridlock. I made a new friend in DC who by the end of the day felt like an old friend. I took Taylor. Even as tired as she was at the end of the day, she was happy to be there. I stood beneath the Monument and cried as I heard things I value about my country's ideals invoked and returned to, and I stared at the monument (it was partly so I could hear ok- the sound bounced off it.) I made a grown man old enough to be my father cry when I started crying. I met people who'd taken the bus from Chicago (like that guy) and Connecticut and Indiana and Louisiana the day before. I shook hands and hugged complete strangers I'll never meet again. I huddled around a radio with those complete strangers when the sound sucked and heard almost every word. We met eyes over key phrases and mouthed "Yes!" I was part of that sea of humanity.

And I took a few pictures: [link]

I'll catch up here eventually.
