I don't know why.

Perhaps because Lorde's rendition is boring and needs something to spice it up. I previously posted this cover by a 13 y.o. that arguably blows Lorde away.

Wow, that's very good!

You can call me green tea...

My brother flies into town from Toronto with his Canadian family for a whirlwind tour of DC. Turns out his wife is good friends with one of the senior staffers in the White House, so they get a private tour and even get to step into the oval office when Obama isn't there. Meet the chief of staff. Their elementary school aged kids are now under the impression that when you visit DC, you get to go to the oval office, and then visit with uncle glatt.

At least he got one of these for me.

I sort of half-assed put the ribbon back on so you could see how it came

Have they met their demise yet? The candy, I mean...

And how were they?

[fargon]

They would not last around our house Keryx would devour them.

[glatt]

There was so much candy in the house yesterday, I didn't eat these ones yet. They look good though.

Wow! Fran's? Really? Fran's Chocolates from Seattle? That's so cool!!

[glatt]

Yep.

When President Barack Obama was on the campaign trail four years ago, he discovered her legendary Smoked Salt Caramels and went bonkers for them. Now, special visitors to the White House receive a box of the salted caramels stamped with the Presidential Seal as a parting gift – half in milk chocolate (The President’s favorite) and half in dark chocolate (First Lady Michelle’s preference).

My son's music tutor can be seen performing on TV today. I can tell you more about it tomorrow (it's supposed to be a secret) but I think that's pretty cool. He's routinely in our living room.

[BigV]

cool!

[fargon]

Where on TV?

[glatt]

Letterman. He's in the President's band and it was a secret that Michelle Obama was surprising Dave on the show, but now that taping is presumably over, I guess I can put it on the Internet without pissing off the Secret Service or getting our son's tutor in trouble.

[Madman]

Not certain what to say about this thread...

[glatt]

Oh, I see my post up there. So we recorded Letterman that night, and even though the musicians all look the same in their uniforms, we could pick our guy out easily. He was playing the clarinet right next to Paul's keyboard.

He said that playing on the show was a blast, but the rest of the day sucked. (My words, not his.) Secret Service had the whole building locked down, and he and the entire band had to wait the entire day sitting on the floor of a small room on a different floor from Dave and Obama until it was time to go on. So he couldn't meet Dave or talk to any guests or anything. But he loved actually playing on the show.
