Hey Dolly. Did you happen to catch tonight's FReeptoon?

[MJY1288]

Chris, You are the best, I will never forget your letter to Rush, he read "ON AIR" and was very touched by your remarks.

"The Passion" is a good metaphor for the influence Rush Limbaugh has had on all of us.

I can't think of a better Freeper to be honored as "One of FR's Finest"

[DollyCali]

no not yet (why don't you post the link here & perhaps more can visit). Have been out earlier & finishing up this thread afterward. will get there later.

[DollyCali]

Amen! He is great! Thanks for stopping by Mike

[pcottraux]

You know what? That's a good idea. Here's a link to pcottraux's Tuesday Night Cartoon.

[writer33]

Thank you, MJY. I appreciate it. It was one of those moments you never forget. And don't forget his birthday comes up on Friday.

Born, January 12, 1951, in Cape Girardeau, Missouri.

[MJY1288]

No! Thank You Chris, I appreciate your humor, but I appreciate your outlook even more. Your "thank you letter" to Rush is something I wish I had written for Ronald Reagan, because Ronald Reagan was the person I wish I could have sent such a powerful letter to.

Rush Limbaugh would tell you that his passion comes from the leadership of our mutual hero "Ronald Wilson Reagan" aka "Dutch" aka "Gipper"

[DollyCali]

Chris, if you have a link to the Rush letter, please post it.. I guess I missed it & it sounds like I REALLY MISSED SOMETHING GOOD!

[MJY1288]

You certainly did :-)

[writer33]

No, you haven't missed anything. MJY talking about the one on my profile. The essay. But I can post the link with the two threads on that day as well.

[DollyCali]

I hope Chris will agree to write for us often & in that spirit I have devised a few graphics that I would like to explain(wouldn't it be nice if our brainstorms were crystal clear to all who observe?)

Chris has hobbies outside of FRee Republic/writing...SHOCK, SHOCK, SHOCK.

Among them are boating and fishing.

NOW, we all KNOW that MOST fisherman tell tall tales.... about the BIG one that got away. And most of them tell tall & funny & memorable tales about other things in life. Chris is among them... thus his Tales from the Pond... guess his pond is his persona if you will.....and we can see him graphically with the big one... that all fishermen have caught over the years, although we know that many of them "get away"...

ahem....

[writer33]

I'm trying to dig up that essay on Reagan after his passing, MY. Stand by for that as well.

[DollyCali]

well, that shows how thoroughly ADDH DollyCali reviewed your profile page! yes, please do post the exact links?

[writer33]

Here are a couple of links to the threads that were going on that day:

Home

I’ve never been far South enough to stand,
Where shadows melt in puddles ‘stead of roamin’.
Even when the Sun had journeyed Northward,
It’s noontime high still made of me a gnomon.

Not much of a worldwide traveler am I,
I’ve only traipsed around one continent.
Not that I haven’t had the wanderlust,
I think it’s safe to blame time management.

Too often I found places, that felt like home to me.
Where hearts could put down roots,
And in the sun, and wind, and rain,
My branches sent out shoots.

So I grew quite attached to them,
And stayed around a while.
And that’s why many a year went by,
While I journeyed not a mile.

I do not worry about it,
My travels come to me.
I get a lot of mileage from,
The spinning skies I see.

Turtles and snails have their homes with them,
Whether moving or lying still.
I have my home resting on my back,
As I lie on a grassy hill.
