Summary: A bright moment in a hectic day makes it all worth while.
February 27, 2002
Dear Dad,
It's the eve of New Hampshire's Election Day and everything is crazy. To put
tonight in a nutshell, my desk fell apart- I mean literally collapsed- as soon
as I put a portfolio on it, my office phone was crazy glued, and I ended up with
the wrong ID badge. And it was all Charlie's fault. He wanted me to sign for
looking at the President's schedule because copies of his schedule found their
way to the Press Corps.
There were some bright spots during the day. One big one was I didn't have to
sit next to the President on the way home from India. I had to smile when he
started giving the Press a history lesson on the game of chess. I think some of
them were rather happy that I called the President away.
The second big bright spot came when I arrived home. I found a yellow rose and
a note attached to my door. Ever since I told him that I love single roses,
he's been obsessed. Anytime I'm away for a few days I find a rose and a note
explaining what it means. I've gotten used to his quirks, but this time it
surprised me. I wonder if Carol had anything to do with it today. Oh well, I'm
gonna leave that mystery alone and catch some sleep.
Love always,
Claudia
