    After this morning’s mass, we tuned in to HOT TALK 560 AM KSFO and heard Obama’s speech. Paw and I were excited and started making haste to get out of the car, through the garage and into the house; while Maw started making angry noises (AGAIN) about the abomination to our country.

    Here are the numbers that I noticed:

    • 08:55:00am: Obama sits down.
    • 08:56:55am: Obama shakes hands with that black kid.
    • 08:57:00am: Obama stands up.

    This time I notice fifty-five as a double digit.
