Dear Diary: My morning consumption of Froot Loops seems to attract calls from other great leaders. No sooner had I chomped my way through my last spoonful, and fed the leftover milk to Bo than my iPresidentophone sprang to life with Ride of the Valkyries, the ringtone assigned to Chancellor Merkel. "Good morning, Angular" I said, for it was indeed she.
" How many listeners do you have on my phone today? she asked.
I gave a pleasant little laugh. " Oh, you Krauts," I said, "Always kidding around."
"I'm replying to your invitation to me to visit with you in Washington later this year. I am accepting," she said.
"That's wonderful, Angular. And how is the pelvis you cracked while skiing?"
"Healing slowly," she replied frostily and quickly disconnected.
I have been watching Chris Christie handling Bridgegate. Since this began as a German-centric day I must admit some schadenfreude that his ample bulk is absorbing all the media glare. But enough about me.
