Has Barack done any interviews today? Where is he?!
I'd like to think he's having a long sleep, but I doubt it :-)

4. Transition Team!
Edited on Wed Nov-05-08 03:30 PM by Juniperx
I bet he isn't even resting today, even though no one would blame him! I bet he and his transition team are at work already!

5. He's busy.
Meeting with the CIA and making calls to future cabinet members.

6. One of the news sites mentioned that we probably won't see him today.
Don't know what he's doing, though.

7. Working on transition
which is far more important than public appearances and interviews.

9. He spent time at the gym this morning; other than that, relaxing at home in Chicago...
... with that beautiful family of his. :-)

10. He's thanking his staff and planning Toot's funeral. That's my guess.

12. Yep, we're thinking alike again Kristi...
so sad that this time can't be all joy and happiness for him, very bittersweet I would imagine.

13. I hope he's cracked open a bottle of champaign and is sitting
in a hot tub with Michelle. They both deserve the break and rest. However, he's probably spent the day on the phone and meeting with his people.

15. heard on the teevee...
that he was up early, had breakfast with his girls, a rare treat,
drove them to school....then off to the gym...
then to his office where he is working hard on assembling his transition team.

Don't know if "rest" or "pause" is in his nature much!

I'm sure he feels he has a tremendous amount of work to do...
I hope he gets enough done, that he can feel peace of mind
enough to take some time off soon...
...to just stop for a few days. Think he will do that when
they have the memorial for Toot in Hawaii...
just my speculation!

16. I just heard them say on the local Chicago news that he is "huddling down-
town" with some of his team members.

He worked out in the gym for 1/2 hour before that.

Oh, he, also, went down to his headquarters to thank his staff for their fine efforts on his behalf.
