A Boring Presser

We listened while we were in the car, getting TBG vaccinated and then getting drive through lunch.  It was an excellent use of our time.

The vaccination volunteers were friendly and conscientious.  We arrived early and nobody cared.  The waiting area nurse was as excited as we were, especially when it came to talking about seeing the grandkids. Fifteen minutes passed and we were on our way.

All the while, Joe Biden was answering questions at his Presidency's first press conference.

He called on the AP first, and the reporter said Thank you, Mr. President.  He didn't insult anyone, although he resisted being pushed around.  There was genuine substance to his answers.  He managed to stop himself before veering off into uncharted territory.

He laid blame on his predecessor where it was appropriate, and dismissed him the rest of the time.  

We put him on the television when we got home, but turned him off after a while.  It was boring.  Delightfully, charmingly, down in the weeds minutiae boring.

It made us indescribably happy.

    1. We were so pleasantly surprised, then laughed at ourselves with wonder.

  2. Refreshing to have a President who actually knows what he is talking about and does not lie non-stop or make everything about himself. Not to mention one who knows what the job entails and works hard at it every day.

    1. I loved it when he said he was hired to do a job (flash to Kevin Kline and "Dave").

  3. I love this. I am even taking less time reading the paper these days. Boring saves time for other things.
