Ours was breakfast: quiche, fruit, coffee & croissants. I've seen lavish brunches with lobster and champagne. (That would be the high brunch Mr. Earl dreams of. Ours was low brunch.)<BR/><BR/>PIO: C-Span was cool! Many interesting moments, many dull ones, yet we couldn't take our eyes off it.<BR/><BR/>Katie I heard about the Pasadena gathering. Do you know what/where it was?<BR/><BR/>Hi Jackie! Thanks for your visit. I love your 1/21 post.<BR/><BR/>True, Christie, our hopes are sky high. He can't live up to all our dreams because our dreams are different.

I like to think he meant it when he said he'd be everyone's president. It's one reason I voted for him.<BR/><BR/>Thank you, Rose.<BR/><BR/>What a day, Jim! Woohoo!<BR/><BR/>Welcome, Kate! I've seen you around the web. We have high hopes for him. Let's remember the burden he takes on and do our part to help.<BR/><BR/>Glad you like it, Sharon, thanks.<BR/><BR/>Jilly, the excitement from other parts of the world is amazing.

THAT's one I've never heard a president mention before! He used a lot of compare-and-contrast imagery, taking a page out of Lincoln's handbook. And I don't think that catchphrase is going anywhere.
