DC is at DEFCON 2 security level, with riot fencing lining blocks adjacent to Pennsylvania Avenue. There is a thin blue line leading to the White House, and scores of uniformed officers milling around talking about the Friday weather forecast. The kid is curious about the spectacle, but with the chance of rain and certainty of crowds and pat-downs I am suggesting the view will be better on TV. I made another idiotic bet ($6.50 for 15 shares of NO) on the speech, still trying to recover from the November upset. Or maybe we should finish watching Game 3 of the 2003 American League Championship Series. YouTube says there is a brawl.
