Shame you could not see his face I saw clip or photo on TV and he looked very good much more relaxed than he has for a while.

Cathy is now a librarian(single , never married) and I guess she still likes to read!

Makes you glad Laura's friends introduced her to George.

Maybe you could find someone for Cathy.

Hi Mike ... thanks for the Dose ... so sorry you're under the weather ...103 is no light fever ..are you still that feverish today? Please take care of yourself... sleep late tomorrow ;).

We are truly blessed to be led and protected by this group. Gen. Myers has been a fantastic Chairman of the JC .. this has to be a bittersweet day for him. He deserves a wonderful next chapter. I think Gen. Pace will be no less a determined, decent and wonderful Chairman. God bless him and his family.

These ceremonies are resplendent in ceremonial traditions and goosebumps .. I would've loved being a military bride.

This is quite a study in pensive profiles

Gen. Pace has a lovely wife

Gen. Pace's son is also a Marine

you know I did try a few times. She is very withdrawn. I believe she lives her life thru books & the characters in them. Never know the things in her life that made her this way. We dont' have a lot in common still but for old times sake I check in with her now & then. Our parents were friends/neighbors for years & hers are both dead & just my mom remains. I know her mom was not an active /outdoorish person & considered me a tomboy (true). Maybe she just felt it wasn't lady like etc to walk on the edge of life a bit. Like I said we are note close & the few times we went out to dinner the conversations were NOT about personal matters/life. If I would try to get there, they conversation quickly went elsewhere.

Gen. Pace gave the most heartfelt thanks to Pres. Bush in his remarks today .. they're replaying the ceremony on Cspan2 now. There was deep genuine sincerity and emotion in his voice when he said this:

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

Pace thanked President Bush for his confidence in him and for the president's steadfast leadership and unwavering support for men and women in uniform.

"Every single one of us in uniform knows that you are leading us and know that you are supporting us at the same time, and it makes a huge difference to each and every one of us," Pace said." When he was speaking these words, he was looking totally at W directly, and spoke them slowly, and with such honor and feeling .. it was very moving. We are lucky to have such a great Chairman of the JC.

Let me tell you... President Bush will be forever remembered as a true lover of our men and women in uniform. 20 years from now when the Middle East has tore down it's version of the Berlin Wall, it will be George W. Bush they will thank. In his usual fashion, George W. Bush will reject the praise and deflect it to those who did the fighting. Dubya will explain that it was the attacks on 9/11 that called him to duty and it was their Heroism that inspired him to carry on.

Come January 21st of 2009 George W. Bush will no longer welcome any reporters on his and Laura's Ranch in Crawford Texas as he and Laura quietly retires to their seclusion. There will be no interviews where George W. Bush criticizes the current or former President, he will continue to be the Statesman he is. The day will come when our Grandchildren will read about this great leader, and the people who have watched this President know this

Never know the things in her life that made her this way.

Could be just the way her brain was built. Like Laura Bush, she derives a great deal of pleasure from reading. I do, too.

The world of ideas is compelling. It isn't just fantasy escape. Books wouldn't be as compelling if they didn't hinge their plots or themes on fascinating ideas or times or places to explore. I'm don't particularly like romance novels, for instance. The last book I read was Freakonomics and it was fun, because it brought up new ideas.

It may be that your friend is just too shy to discuss ideas with other people (they are too critical of the ideas perhaps), and that is why she revels in ideas privately.

There may be someone out there like her that could share her mental world.

Maybe before you go out again you could ask her to recommend a book, and then let her take the lead in discussing it, just mostly listening after you read it and meet her, to find out more about her.

Just an off the wall idea here. I'm curious about her now.
