Happy Birthday to Leah. She’s 26 today. My littlest sister. Lives out in Portland too.

I caught a weird bug out east and have a cough, a nasal drip and one little sore spot in the back of the throat. I am completely down for the count. Leigh is keeping me alive, and Gary, that little weiner, is serving as a heating pad, wedged in between my back and the couch, right now. Poor little hound.

SHEPHERD FAIREY, AMERICAN PATRIOT: Paddock comes in red, white and blue with a link about how the Smithsonian’s first Obama purchased portrait is one of his. Something to be proud of. So awesome. Way excited for what’s to come in the next four (eight) years under President Obama’s watch.

Just gotta say it one more time: “President Obama.”
