Morning!

Morning everyone - or afternoon/evening/night.

It’s another one of those Sundays, a bit busy-ish with work, but I’ll be dropping in and out through the day and will update later. So, chat away ;-)

morning

Aug. 8, 2010 - Pete Souza: “We were walking through a locker room at the University of Texas when White House Trip Director Marvin Nicholson stopped to weigh himself on a scale. Unbeknownst to him, the President was stepping on the back of the scale, as Marvin continued to slide the scale lever. Everyone but Marvin was in on the joke.”

Just a random old photo to make you smile ;-)

Have a great Sunday!
