Dear Diary: While the cat's away the mice will play. In this case it was Michelle in China and me playing a round of golf at Joint Base Andrews, with trip director Marv Nicholson, his brother Walter, and White House advance man Luke Rosa. They very sensibly enabled an easy 'victory' for me. Then it was back into the Beast for a brief journey home, a spliff of Blueberry Yum Yum, a giant steak, fries, ketchup and a pint of Haagen Dazs. I followed this with an episode of the National Geographic channel's 's Alaska State Troopers. Alaska is a country somewhere near Canada where there are moose, bears and lots of snowmobiles. Marv records it on the DVR. But enough about me.
