...night owls who spent the dark hoursreading briefing materials

Unlike his most recent predecessors -- night owls who spent the dark hours reading briefing materials (President Barack Obama) or watching television (President Donald Trump) -- Biden is more of an early-to-bed type. He has continued a tradition of reading letters from Americans, a handful of which are tucked into the briefing materials he brings home in the evenings. Recently they have focused on the pandemic; Biden has also spoken by video conference with business owners and laid-off workers weathering the economic crisis.

And he hasn't been put off by the pack of reporters who track his every move. He's shown more willingness to answer shouted questions than Obama was, weighing in on his predecessor's impeachment trial even as the White House insisted he was focused on other things.
The President's Daily Brief, a highly classified update on the country's top intelligence, is back to a daily occurrence after happening only sporadically under Trump. Joined in the Oval Office by Vice President Kamala Harris -- who has used an iPad to receive the briefing, like Obama -- Biden is run through the update by a range of intelligence professionals.
He has expressed a preference for a fire built in the Oval Office fireplace, and sometimes adds a log himself to keep it going. His dogs, two German Shepherds called Major and Champ, sometimes join him.
His days are more structured than Trump's, whose aides began blocking out large chunks of "executive time" to accommodate his television viewing and telephone calls. Biden's meetings are more routine, though they often run longer than planned. The door to the Oval Office is not considered open to just anyone, as it sometimes was under Trump.

Naps and warm milk for Biden. He sometimes asks for another scoop of ice cream recounting how his mommy let him have two. But he is often remined, due to his dementia, that he already had two scoops.
And he hasn’t been put off by the pack of **reporters who track his every move**.
LOL
I wonder if it tickles his appendix when they get their tongues all the way up there like that...
Fire in the fireplace. Does he also wear a sweater? Will we next get Fireside Chats like Carter did?
“Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia...”

Endless puff pieces from now on. More spin than a Kansas twister.
Ha! That reminds me of the monster sized rolling paper that came with one of Cheech and Chong’s first albums. (1972 or so.) It made up a HUGE Doobie!
