I’ll keep this short.
Mr. President himself will be in our office building tomorrow for an event. Since our entire block, phones, walls, restrooms, chairs are bugged, I wanted to post something that the secret service crew has to read.

Tumblr said the title was “optional”
I always do this.
Start blogging. Save as draft. Come back. Hate it. Delete. Don’t check Tumblr for weeks. Get inspired. Start typing. DELETE.
