It is no secret that President Obama and House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) have had a rocky relationship.
There was the early, awkward attempt at bonding on the golf course; then one waited for the other's return call that never came; and now there is as little interaction as is required.
So the prospect of the two men leaving Washington this week for a breezy fundraising jaunt to California may have raised hopes of a reconciliation.
Any such hopes were dashed quickly. There would be no back-channel summit in the Golden State.
The closest the two men got was on Thursday, as they attended tony, if separate, fundraisers on the Westside.
Obama's motorcade pulled into the Brentwood home of actress Gwyneth Paltrow on Thursday evening after Boehner had already stopped by a Beverly Hills GOP fundraiser that morning.
Close, but still so far -- nothing more, it seems, than cars passing in L.A. area traffic as each seeks to gain advantage back in Washington.
"We can pick up seats in California," Boehner spokesman Cory Fritz said as his boss was criss-crossing the state, starting in Sacramento and making his way down to San Diego by Friday to raise money for Republican candidates he hopes can expand his majority in the House this fall.
As Obama put it during a stop to the campaign office of a Democrat running for another of the seats: "California is right at the heart of the battle for control of the House."

Sen. Rand Paul has said repeatedly that he's considering a run for president in 2016
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
Editor's note: Wolf Blitzer's interview with Rand Paul will air in full on CNN's "The Situation Room" at 5 p.m. ET
(CNN) -- In 2011, Sen. Rand Paul told CNN's Wolf Blitzer that he would favor a halt of U.S. foreign aid, including assistance to Israel.
In August, at the height of the recent Gaza conflict, the Kentucky Republican made headlines for declaring he never proposed ending aid to the country.
Democrats and other critics seized on his sharp change in tune and blasted the likely presidential contender for flip-flopping. The criticism kicked off a wave of close scrutiny of Paul's past statements.
On Friday, Rand spoke with Blitzer again, saying he stands by what he told him in 2011.
"Interestingly, they keep playing our interview, Wolf. So we had a great interview. But the interesting thing of it is I actually still do agree with what I told you. Ultimately, I think a country that's $18 trillion in debt should not be borrowing money from China to send it to anyone," he said.
What Rand Paul thinks is the 'biggest mistake' for GOP
