Can we be human for a second. . .I'm choking up watching Joe's neighbors send him off. . .

. . .as a resident of Obama's neighborhood I can identify with those folks. I'm very happy for him as I would be for any of the potential VP nominees.

5. choking up? I was openly sobbing with joy

Went and put Kleenex on my shopping list, because I predict more tears of joy this week.

Good for Joe. I'm so glad his neighbors gave him a proud send-off!

7. Just watched some footage

Joe was getting in his car to leave and his family was all there. He gave his sweet little mother a hug and a kiss and walked to get in his car. Then he turned around, smiling broadly, went back to his mother, hugged her, patted her on the cheek and kissed her again! Sweet! Made me tear up again!
This guy is so real.

8. ah, so you are Obama's neighbour?

how sweet is that!

I think I saw a pic of you hanging with Ali a while ago too, that you posted and identified.

pretty neat. Pretty neat the connections in this world, the 6 degrees of separation. I'm assuming you will be going to Invesco on Thursday and you will be plopped into a bit of history.

Ali to your past and your almost neighbor, Barack, to the future.
