I'm in Bethesda tonight after a drive from North Carolina to drop Malia at American University. Soon after we left Chapel Hill, near Falls Lake, I glanced up to see a bald eagle soaring high above, it's white tail feathers brilliant against the cloudless blue sky. And on the drive for the next few hours I enjoyed an endless display of redbud tree blossoms. When Malia took over the driving, I wrote a haiku. Now I'm about to sleep, ready for a work day down at the Duke in DC office so close to the White House.#
