ABOUT …

The Obama Presidential Center is a privately operated, non-federally run organization, and it's not part of the National Archives and Records Administration’s presidential library system, which comprises sixteen Presidential Libraries.

Obama and the Obama Foundation decided in 2017 to work outside the normal guardrails of the National Archives, which holds his presidential papers.

Instead, the documents are being digitized and are available for researchers and the public online in the first fully digital presidential library, managed by the National Archives.

Press Preview/Obama Presidential Center (June 2026) About Culinary Experiences

​IN THIS PHOTO ESSAY POST:

We were treated to box lunches the day of the Press Preview at the Obama Presidential Center (June 3, 2026). 

(P.S. Aside: My #SetBuddies and yours from extras filming the NBC TV Series “Chicago Fire” always look forward to the delicious Chocolate Chip cookies from Mario’s Catering, the show’s longtime caterer, but these chocolate chip cookies from Tafari’s Kitchen were the absolute bomb!)

(The late) Chef Tafari Campbell was a sous chef at The White House during the Obama Presidential years, and he later became the personal chef to the Obamas for many years when they returned to private life.

Almost Summer in the City

​Just finished up a really intense legal project that was supposed to be 8 weeks but went into 11 weekends (i.e. working 7 days a week  - last weekend’s Holiday was on standby included). Got the word late last Friday. 

How did yours spend this (would have been) the 12th weekend?! The first day, Saturday, slept in and stayed in and truly relaxed for the first time in months; did nothing except binge watch our latest extras series and research play time options for the foreseeable future.

Caught some sights and sounds today, including the closing weekend of Matisse’s “Jazz” “Rhythms in Color” @ The Art Institute of Chicago, which was fabulous. #ArtHealsTheSoul #Jazz! Got lots of new great photographs in our almost summer in the city photo shoot of Michigan Avenue.

Stopped by Stan’s Donuts and had one of their  glutenless blueberry frosting donuts. (Theirs are actually good!) And caught a freebie advance movie screening of “Power Ballad” … it was okay but not like the WOW! of “DWP2,” so won’t write about it too much here.

LOOKING FORWARD …

WE hit the press preview for the O Center this week; use up our “Hamilton” anniversary lottery won tix in The Big Apple; and enjoy family time there too at a celebration of a member’s another time around the sun. 

Hit me up if you want to do EATS… or a movie or a show or a day trip somewhere R&R… rest of June is lookin’ GOOD! #EnjoyLife

EXCERPT

Savannah Guthrie Returns to ‘Today’ Anchor Desk Amid Mom’s Disappearance and Says ‘It’s Good to Be Home’: ‘Ready or Not, Let’s Do the News’

By Zack Sharf

Savannah Guthrie returned to NBC‘s “Today” on April 6 amid the continued disappearance of her mother, Nancy. Joined by co-anchor Craig Melvin, Guthrie got right into the news and did not spend any time addressing the ongoing investigation into her mother’s whereabouts. Guthrie tee’d up the morning’s big stories, from Trump’s war in Iran to inflated gas prices, the Artemis II mission to journey around the moon, Prince William and Kate Middleton attending their first Easter service in three years and more.

“It is good to be home,” Guthrie declared afterward, the only nod to her absence at the top of the show. “Ready or not, let’s do the news.”

“So good to have you home,” Melvin added.

About 20 minutes into the broadcast, Guthrie and Melvin threw to Al Roker for the morning’s first weather update. “I just like looking over here,” Roker said while looking at Guthrie in a loving nod to her return. She replied, “Good morning, sunshine.”
