My brother, who works in the US Foreign Service, is currently stationed in Colombia. He just met the President, and I think that's pretty cool. I'd like to meet the President, too. I may not agree with the man, but he's still the freakin' President. Actually, I think it would be even cooler to meet his wife. Laura Bush is a remarkable woman.
Apparently, my brother's wife took their kids to some sort of meet and greet at the embassy, and Mrs. Bush wanted to take a picture with their daughter, but the young 'un didn't want a picture with the strange woman, and it didn't happen. That's too bad. Knowing my family, she's still going to get teased about it in college. :)
In other news, Plainbellied and Her Nibs remain at my parents' house. Today is my father's birthday, and we got him some chocolate coins. We thought it would be nice to combine his birthday and St. Patrick's Day, so we decided to give him a pot of gold. Well, it turns out that he's received chocolate coins like three times in the past week. I guess it'll have to be four now.

Plainbellied is one brave soul to travel so far...
I wonder if she feels like Columbus?
:)
I once met that man and was genuinely impressed by him. But that was a long, LONG time ago.
It is a shame that the democratic party could do no better than john kerry. Ahhhhh.
