I was reminded recently of how most staff at the White House stay there until retirement. If any of you remember the mini-series "Backstairs at the White House," based on the non-fiction book of the same title, the house staff is there through administration after administration. Tina Hager's series of portraits of the staff of the executive residence offers a glimpse into why people would want to work there forever.

It was an awesome show. I hadn't known that it was from a book. I'm going to look for that.
