President Obama gets cabin fever, walks to Starbucks

Politicians sacrifice a lot to live in the White House, but once they get in, most are eager to find a way out of the bubble.

CBS News' senior White House correspondent Bill Plante was out in Washington, D.C., when he saw a big crowd coming towards him. The secret service was motioning the crowd aside, Plante said, as President Obama was walking outside with a cup of tea in hand.

Plante has covered five presidents, but he said he had never seen anything like this.

"I don't get a chance to take walks very often," President Obama said last month. "Secret Service gets a little stressed. But every once in a while I'm able to sneak off. I'm sort of like the circus bear that kind of breaks the chain."

The Bear is loose hahaha

Reading glasses ALL the time for small print....a milestone

Before a few months ago, I could strain and read small print. The really small stuff, I had to fetch my OTC glasses from CVS. I wear contacts too, with a feature for close-up reading built in.

Now...alas..I MUST use my reading glasses all the time for the small stuff. Someone tell me, please, I'm going to survive this milestone.
