Barack Obama

Unfortunately I was asleep at the time. But that was a sweet dream, oddly enough featuring a meeting I'd called to organize neighborhood watch for my block.

Nobody else showed up in the dream, not neighbors anyway. I wouldn't have wanted them here under the circumstances
, because they're mostly teabaggers and I'm selfish.

This dream delighted me so much that I wrote President Obama the first snail mail I've done in probably a decade. Said I thought he might need a cheerful thought someday to break the tension of dealing with his disloyal opposition. Got a return note on official WH stationery (much nicer than mine), but what I've never learned is how or whether there's a way to know if it's an automatic canned reply or maybe - just maybe? - a personal reply to my letter which he actually might've read.

Anyone have the answer?
