I've been working on our new site, and it's extremely time-consuming. Please forgive the slower pace of the posts today and the next few days.
Meanwhile, feast your eyes on the White House feast!

Hold the mayo:
President-elect Barack Obama made his first public appearance in 10 days on Friday at a Chicago lunchtime institution.
Obama arrived at Manny’s Cafeteria and Deli around 12:30 p.m. and ordered three corned beef sandwiches. He was accompanied by his newly named senior adviser and close friend Valerie Jarrett.“Rahm Emanuel sends his regards,” Obama told the deli’s owner, Ken Raskin, whose late father founded the Chicago institution. “I ordered him his corned beef.”
Obama worked the restaurant full of enthusiastic patrons for about 15 minutes, but he declined questions from reporters about Congress’ decision to put off approving a plan to salvage the fledgling auto industry.
Asked by reporter what he ordered, the president-elect said, "We got the corned beef."
Asked then, "What do you think about the auto industry?” Obama smiled and said, "I got the corned beef.”
Then he mingled. Barack the Mingler. Oh how I'd love to be a minglee.
"I love you," one of them told the president-elect.
"I love you back," Obama said.
Another woman hugged him.
I guess that could be classified as "co-mingling". And oh how I'd love to be a co-minglee.
Obama also got two cherry pies. Mmmm. Now I like him even more than I did when I said I wanted to be a co-minglee.
