I wanted to share a quick little account here of a morning happening in the Ghent neighborhood of Norfolk where I am spending the week as I often do away from NYC. As my girlfriend and I drove to CAFE STELLA on Colonial we noticed a sudden police barricade and re direction of traffic. We were close so we turned and parked and walked to the cafe. When I asked a cop next to the "bomb unit" truck and trailer he growled "vice president" . So a while later after we got our amazing house roasted latte and coffee concoctions the motorcade came by on the way to nearby Maury High School apparently. When the VP limo came by Joe Biden leaned forward, looked out the window and waved at the few people on the street. It was a genuine moment of recognition and I thought really cool of him. Thank you Joe! and Top of the mornin to ya!
PS Hilary Clinton and I assume Joe are speaking tonight in Norfolk at the NATO headquarters and a dinner on world affairs. I tried to get tickets but they are all gone.
