In my letter to the WH which I like to think he might've read, I explained that was the reason I wanted to tell him the story of my dream, the one where he and Michelle and a whole slew of SS showed up at my house for a Neighborhood Watch organizing meeting. I wanted him to remember we do love and appreciate him, and maybe the story of that silly little dream would bring a smile to his heart on the heaviest days. I even told him about the SS agents in the trees! They were all over the place. None of the neighbors showed up, but that meant more dessert for everyone else. In my mind I can still see and hear that limo rolling up with the fender flags and "Hail to the Chief" playing in my head; my total and utter amazement that they were coming to see me!

Most of the people around here would consider that a nightmare. Guess I'm not paranoid enough.
