'Dear John' Letter # 1,017:

Just love it when you speak French to us, Jean-Claude Hugo, in bringing us The Latest on the Situation in Haiti!!

Just my humble opinion, but I do believe the Democrats are being eaten alive with French envy, choosing JFK as their knight in tarnished armor, him being a Nam (which belonged to France) hero vet and all.
Next we'll see ads of him, lean as a French fry, with ketchup (spelled with a 'k' for Kerry) on the side, proclaiming he would've prevented the chaos in Haiti single-handed had he been asked.

No indecisiveness from him, they'll say, unlike that 'Other Guy' who hung back and sat on his hands (which actually touch chainsaws on vacation, unlike JFK who hoists high a royal scepter) and embarrassed us.

Comparing the two Presidential-candidates-probably-to-be, just between you and me, JFK's smile resembles the barred sewer grates on a street curb, pained and somewhat insincere to my eye.

Just look again at the contrast of that picture of him (legs spraddled like a newborn colt) with a combination I Spy-Salute...and one of the 'Other Guy'...

===========================================

Now, about that Charlie-Who-Is-No-Angel stirring the pot...appears to be trying to portray GWB as a reckless Dictator of Haiti (which belonged to France), sticking his nose (tardily, of course) into that paragon of democracy in the Caribbean.

S'pose Charlie Boy's hero is 'Papa Doc' Duvalier, who was the Real Dictator for Life? Maybe his son, Baby Doc? And thinks Aristide is at least better'n Osama and Saddam?

It's a puzzle to me, what they expect of America's President, but I certainly do not want to know what JFK would have done - or not done - or maybe both.

Ya know, I think I heard GWB when he walked Barney early this morning singing quietly, "I've got spurs - that Ringel Rangel Rangel.." and chuckling...

Keep on ridin' the range, Cowboys...

Thanks for stirring the pot, JH, cranking out another gourmet delight for us.....

Smooches,

LadyX

For anyone interested, we got a call from our #2 son this morning at 0505. He's out of Iraq and was calling from Rhein Main AFB enroute to Fort Bragg. Needless to say Mrs ladtx is beside herself, even though we probably won't see him for a couple of weeks yet. Just knowing he's out of Iraq is a great relief.

I'm interested! Have been thinking and praying alot for him lately knowing that he was leaving Iraq sometime in March. Thank God that he's safe and will be coming home soon!
Hope you throw him a big Welcome Home party with steaks on the grill and all the works! :)
Please tell him I said Thank You!

I am so happy for you and Mrs.Ladtx.Many thanks to your son.

Let us know how the meeting turned out...hope he wasn't as bad as you were thinking it might be.

Thank you (((((Aqua)))))) for asking. As it turns out, God (and my Guardian Angel) were with me. She-who-must-be-obeyed acquiesced and allowed me to do my job the way *I* see fit without her interfer - er - *help.*

She is *not* my superior, but treats me as such. Luckily for me (and her) things turned out just fine and no blood was shed.

John is stunningly talented.

I know, he amazes me every week. It's a a privilege to work with him (every other week).

[Aquamarine]

Good morning Free!

Sure will be glad when the clouds go and Spring gets here!

My Dad is coming up late this afternoon and staying over. We're going to a little family get-together at Golden Corral (AYCE Buffet restaurant) on Friday for lunch.

Oh wow, that sounds great, have a nice time! :)

[Aquamarine]

Boy sometimes those trials seem to go for ever..

You're right about that. It does make one stronger but I have wondered at times how much stronger can I get! :)

[ladtx]

Hope you throw him a big Welcome Home party with steaks on the grill and all the works! :)

He has already let us know he wants to go down to the Fort Worth Stockyards for a steak. That's where we took him when he came home on R&R.

Oh, Aqua.. I just reread... ugh.. didn't mean it the way it came out..

I am sorry. I hope there is not offense.

That place looks like alot of fun...bet they have some choice steaks there also. ;)

[Aquamarine]

No offense taken, lol. As far as writing goes he's the man. You complimented my presentation which I take pride in.
Thank you! :)

[Aquamarine]

Thanks for letting us know. Had a good feeling that things would work out well for you.

[Aquamarine]

Still haven't gotten over that awesome Post you made yesterday!

[ladtx]

...bet they have some choice steaks there also.

The best. If you ever have the chance, a visit to the Stock Yards is worth the time. It's designated as a National Historic District.

I would love to visit the Stock Yards one day. There's nothing better than a good Western steak, bet your son has been dreaming about this. :)
