State of the Union

Last night was 43's final State of the Union. I was where you'll find me every year - in front of the tv watching the C-SPAN cameras.

In the 20-and-something years I've been watching, it never gets old. It's like watching a good baseball game. The delight is not watching the main action at the plate but the rarely-noticed glances, interactions, non-interactions, unspoken signals, and silent instigations of the players.

Bush didn't take a swing for the fences but placed an excellent bunt down third.

I'm really gonna miss him.
