Okay, I was off to
Grand Central Bakery for my daily croissant and coffee when I noticed a lot of police officers and yellow police tape. Was this a scene of a crime? No, silly,
the President of the United States of America is coming for a turkey sandwich. No, really. I must say if I knew this ahead of time, I would've called the White House warning President Obama not to order the sandwich on their artisanal bread. As much as I love the bakery, the bread is very hard and difficult to chew. Get me through to the president. He must get the potato bread instead!!!
Alas, alas. I didn't get through. Actually, I didn't even try. They might have thought there was something wrong with me. Maybe, I'm too
hard on the bakery? Nah, Many people agree. Maybe if you order soup with the bread, you could dunk it and eat it that way. Just stick with the pastries and coffee. While you're there, you can take in the historic building and the park.
Crowds were gathering and it was beautiful, sunny day.
Right at 11:4o AM, a motorcade arrives, President Obama gets out and the crowd starts to cheer. Most everyone is waving or gently jostling try to get a picture. He waves a little and goes in for his turkey sandwich. This is SEATTLE, Washington. Not Washington, DC, okay? Is this like Oprah making a run for some of
Ezell's Fried Chicken?
Just like that, he was inside, but everyone was still happy. Maybe they were waiting for him to come out. Maybe they were wondering what he ordered or if he liked it or not. Who knows?
I'm not worrying. Everything will be back to normal and I'll get in line for my pastries and coffee and people will ask if I saw the president and they will tell their friends if I had. I'll just eat my pastry and sip my coffee and I'll be glad I was able to get in.
