Yeah, Cindy is right. W was born in New Haven, moved to Midland at age 2 and attended public school there through middle school. He went to prep school in New England (Exeter, I think, which is in NH or maybe Andover in MA) and then Yale, but spent ages 2-13 in Midland (except possibly for summers in Kennebunkport, I guess!)
I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

What is even happening?
Phillips (in Andover, which gets confusing because there is a Phillips-Exeter, in Exeter N.H.).

I know I'm an enormous cheeser, but I love the picture of Maya's wedding attached to this article.
And it also shows that the coordinated-daughter thing is not new. Love it.

Andover, I think.
Most importantly, stay strong Frank.

And that is some rockin' Hawaii-style diversity. Great link, Jesse.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I also loved the quote from Michelle's brother who's like, it's not cool enough that there's a black president, but it's my brother-in-law???

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
And in that wedding photo, who would pull Grandma to go with any of those faces. That is such the growing picture of our families.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Just got the official word that I'm OK. But I don't remember us ever having this big a layoff before, so who know how long this will mean things are relatively safe. We're usually recession proof (people go to college when things are good & often go back to college when things are bad), but since this is so related to lending, it hit us right where we live (the whole industry, not just us).

Inauguration photos: [link]
They're all great, but #10 is my favorite.
What struck me most about that one was the American flag in the background.
My favorite caption is from #25 (emphasis mine):
President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle stand with former US president George W. Bush and Laura Bush on the steps of the US Capitol following the inaugural ceremony for Obama as 44th US president in Washington on January 20, 2009.
I love all the pictures of the Obamas dancing at the balls. They're just so obviously in love -- and more than that, you can see how much they LIKE each other, which might seem obvious, but man, I know couples who barely seem to tolerate each other.
This video clip (no sound), of Barack and Michelle busting out into a little dance in the booth where they were watching the parade, is my favorite thing from yesterday: [link] Just because that, more than anything, showed how close they are. To me. It's those tiny, often dorky, moments that say everything.

They seem to enjoy giving each other grief, in that fun, bantering way.
