So I got to shake hands with The President tonight.....

I was at dinner in Asheville, and had to use the restroom (per usual). When I came out, I was told to step to the side, as the POTUS was heading up the stairs.
So I said, OK.... There I am, flanked by Secret Service, and the President walks up the stairs and holds out his hand, and asks me my name.

Fortunately, I remembered it, and answered him, and welcomed him to Asheville. Then the First Lady, who was already seated, waved and I waved back and said Hi!

My only brush EVUH with a POTUS and FLOTUS. I don't have grandchildren or children to tell this story to, so you guys are it!
