Pool began rolling to an undisclosed location at 5:24 pm. But your pool - astute followers of the presidents' weekend schedule - have a few guesses. |

Pool report 10 - leaving dinner POTUS and FLOTUS left Fiola Mare at 7:59 pm and pool is now rolling en route to the White House. Another Fiola Mare patron approached the pool prior to POTUS’ departure and said that he was eating "the lobster" but your pooler is skeptical, and that claim remains unverified. If I have an update on his meal, I will send it forward. But my bet is on the bolognese. |
