Barack Obama says hi (OK. not really), and so does Cecile Richards (yes, really). The "old guy (depends on your perspective)" is Lee Huebner, a journalist from way back who knew a mutual friend (now departed) who used to satirize the Republicans. His name was Art Buchwald, in case anyone remembers him. Lee used to edit the old Paris International Herald Tribune.

Warmest December in DC that I can remember for a long time.

Two years ago, while waiting outside for WH security, I nearly froze to death.
Back to Germany tomorrow, as reality vertigo sets in..........

(7,906 posts)Looks like all had a wonderful time.
It was a very mild December night in New York State, as well. My youngest daughter and her choir perform at an outdoor Remembrance Ceremony at a local cemetery. Usually my teeth are chattering. Tonight was very pleasant.
Happy travels, DFW.

There is no rest for the weary (still beats a desk job, though!!)

At this point, I'd kill for a week with NO travels!
But stopping off at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. is always a worthwhile interlude when the invitation comes.

Hang on to that thought!

(54,587 posts)We stay in touch on a VERY sporadic basis, and I usually only see him once a year. Not exactly "close," but I hope to keep in touch after he leaves office, too.

South Carolina is a beautiful place.. too bad about the politics.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
