House on the Hill and late returnees 

"Nice house..." No body home or even around, but "sure is peaceful around here..." At least this time around, so they, the ones prepping to exit...promise so. So goes political promises...kicked to the curb.

"What's in your cupboard...?" AKA your kitchen cabinets. A question we got from one of our own, while they needed what used to be called a "step stool" and didn't really bother with...until they had a health class, which found me, the next day..."who rearranged all this...?" Sounding familiar yet, close to home?

"Mean Wiles" A "formidable force", consider the source, of course. She, the first female Chief of Staff, being no "Lazy Susan" -- an irony in and of itself as it's more of a turntable than still life. Who could, if not careful, find herself on the cabinet carousel that was hard to keep track of last time around here, without a program of "Players" that in the context of the Theatre of the Absurd, refers to actors or performers...

"Outta' here!" Easily apply to the other new Cabinet members, who may find themselves "packing" otherwise heading to the exits prematurely. An experience we experienced in our own home...ballpark, for several seasons. Whereas in this most recent season, one of almost record-setting come-backs, if you got up even for minute, vacated your seat, to tend to your own needs, might find you either SOL or at least, in "cheap seat" lingo, in the SRO section...standing, with your "backs up against the wall"...

"He hit a Homer!" As in "Going, going...gone, out of the park!" Don't get up, or give up your seat in this house, you could miss out on all the action...

Cabinet Member, as of November...At last count.

  "King David, where art Thou?" Here and Now: When I need and you most...for a quote, a tip, let alone a quip... Clever crafted commentary: At his best, in his field, "In my humble opinion..."  "Coming to you tonight..." Each and every night, assuming we welcomed him with his partner, known in our home, as simply "Chet" when we referred to him on his own, but more formally when paired with "David" as the "Huntley-Brinkley" reporting team... Distinctly Brinkley: who got called on whenever things around here, US, were on the brink... "Sow, David..." It's how I heard it, and still remember it, as he was asked to comment, well into the eve of what was casted to be his final telecast of this type, on the eve of a second coming...of the Clintons, their return to the White House...a second (merry) go round... "For the love of Mike!" While he was not shy of the microphone, having gotten used to one on his desk ...
