That red telephone does not actually connect to the Kremlin. It’s a direct line to Chung’s Golden Palace in Georgetown. The takeout kung pao chicken is to die for. ---

After unfolding the paper tucked in the envelope, Obama quizzically looks at the crayon drawing of what seems to be a family in front of a little house, waving. The stick people amusingly all have different numbers of fingers, and the sun in the sky is done in purple. Perspective errors appear to make the house’s chimney look like a top hat on the figure of the mother. Great care seems to have been taken with the grass, of which 3 different colors of green were used. He sticks it to the refrigerator with a magnet. ---
