Bumping into Obama, Oh Yeah!

Not that I have photographic evidence of this or that it was even a significant interaction, but I saw Barack mixing with the people the other day at Fulton's on the River. Now the only thing that brought a wretch like me to a "high falootin'" joint such as Fulton's is their great happy hour special of one dollar!! oysters. I have a soft spot in my heart for all sorts of bivalves and right beneath below the bearded clam is my second favorite: the oyster. Upon settling into the bar my friend Erik and I ordered a few beers and chitchatted with the bartender and she mentioned how excited that Obama was gonna be in the house. Erik and I glanced at each other and sorta chuckled about the ramifications that this news meant. ...Charming our way into Obama's Cabinet was thrown about... We ate our oysters, drank our Goose Islands and enjoyed the spectacle of a photographing Hydra sprang into the bar backwards in retreat all while still snapping away at the as yet unseen Senator. And then he was there. With a clipped "What Up" head nod and self-mocking, "Excuse me, while I put this sport coat on. It helps me look more presidential." Guffaw, Guffaw.

Back from Mexico

Cannot say that I've missed much while in the outpost town of Cancun. As many brain cells as the tequilla tried to kill, I cannot forget the game one of The Finals I watched from a hotel sports bar and I slept through half of game two. If things don't change tonight for the better, read: a Cavs win and Manu getting knocked the fuck out by Drew Gooden I'm giving up on this NBA season and not thinking about Naismith's baby til the draft.
