Tomorrow night...

...is the final State of the Union Address from our President - easily the best of my lifetime, though that's not saying much since I'm young.

Hard to believe this is his last year. I will miss him so much!!

Anyway, tune in tomorrow for sure!!

President Obama has been the best President in my life time ... and I ain't that young.

And, we will miss him terribly once he leaves office.

I suspect the historians will be far more kind to his Presidency than many "Democrats" ... But then, the historians won't have to preface their remarks with, "I voted for the guy TWICE!!!" before launching into a speculative rant, pretending to be a reasoned critique.

the thousands gathered in that park to celebrate. I'm old, I doubt I'll ever see another event like it. The tears in many eyes, including mine, made his election so special.

But, especially Michelle. I think she's the been one of the best and most influential First Ladies America has ever had, certainly on a par with Eleanor Roosevelt. She's without a doubt the most beautiful. Yes, I will surely miss Michelle.
