Visit the white house

“I had the opportunity, late last year, to visit the White House, and I avoided it because it seemed like a hassle. But just yesterday (as of writing, weeks ago as of posting) on a not so bright Friday morning I visited the White House! I didn’t see Biden, or more importantly Willow. Entering the White House was a bit nerve-wracking. It was all very straightforward, less security than I thought there would be quite frankly, and the Secret Service guys were great, but I was flanked by off-duty cops sporting Blue Lives Matter gear and that made me uncomfortable as heck. There was a much bigger crowd than I had been expecting given the fact that you have to ask your Congressperson to be able to go on a tour, and I was the only one to dress up.”

“I see so many negative responses, so I’ll chime in for the positive: it was really pretty fun to line up, go through Secret Service screening and enter the building. You see a few halls and rooms and then we exited through the front of the White House and walked the circle to the gate. It was super neat to be on the inside with hundreds of tourists looking it at us through the fence. Definitely a unique experience.”
