POTUS

Yes Rachel, I do feel a little like we're living the West Wing. Watching the 60 Minutes interview tonight, I got to thinking how nice it will be to have a president that isn't embarrassing. I also really liked that Michelle Obama kept interrupting him when he trailed off or wasn't getting to the point quickly. I hope she keeps doing that.

I am also enjoying all the news stories about normal people transitioning to White House life. It's been awhile since we've had a new president, and even longer since the new president's family were normal-ish people, so perhaps this is standard practice journalism and I just don't remember. For example, I had never given this transition issue any thought until now.

Just to check

So, just to check if I voted for the right people, I did the Select a Candidate quiz on MPR.org tonight. I'm happy to report I voted for the right candidates for president and U.S. senate. According to MPR, I agreed 100% with my senate choice and about 62% with my presidential choice. If you haven't done it already, it's almost more interesting after you've voted.

And yes, I'm totally crying as I watch the speech.

Did I mention it's a big day?

A REALLY big day
