… I’m going to be marching at the MLK365 to commune with my nighbors. Wish you could join us…

…How are things in North Charleston today? I suspect that at this very moment you are having breakfast with Rep. Jim Clyburn, reminiscing about the past four years. I’m sure you’ll thank him for telling NBC you “will go down as one of the greatest presidents we’ve had.” …

… Since your public calendar did not appear today, I can only guess where you are. I assume you are in DC so you can clean out the Oval Office. I’m sure your people will be very careful about the papers that they remove. …

…How was the event yesterday at the Myers-Henderson Hall? The folks at CBS News speculated it was the most personally poignant of your farewell events, especially when you talked about Beau….

… It was a magical place where could make an equilateral triangle out of full-length mirrors, so you saw an infinite number of reflections of your reflection. I found it tantalizingly mind-blowing….

… As I ponder the Social Security Fairness Act (SSFA) that you are signing today, I question the wisdom of it. ..
