This made me smile today

During a break from the piano at our Merry-oke party, I introduced myself to a couple handsome men near the beverages.

Me, not-so-gracefully: "You must be the famous couple."
Sexy Blonde: "Uh. Yeah, I guess."
Swarthy Partner: "We'd rather not talk about it tonight."

I changed the subject, but mentioned that double_ohsteven had told me that he had invited them, and it was a pleasure to have them join us. I had, of course, read about their plight earlier in the year.

Blonde: "This is the only holiday party to which we were invited."
Me: "That's funny. Me, too!"

After they left, Steve showed me this gorgeous floral arrangement they had brought:



I was ecstatic to read today that they got at least a little bit more time.

Definitely more heartwarming than any stupid Iowa political stories.
