What a cool little cart...wonder what it sold for?
Dorothy 'Doro' Bush Koch talks to former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer during a book signing for her book 'My Father, My President,' at a bookstore in Logan Airport in Boston, Thursday, Nov. 30, 2006. Fleischer, who worked in the George H.W. Bush administration, and was press secretary for Koch's brother, George W. Bush until June 15, 2003, was taking a flight from Boston
Christmas ball shot @ 80 is awesome!
Thank God he is home safe and sound. My heart can quit it's beating double-time now.
***sigh of relief***
Great last picture. Looks like relief on his face, too, that he is back home to his family!
Wow, seek. You must be bursting your buttons with that handsome and talented nephew. What an honor!
If you right click on the photos you can save them to your hard disk.
Then save them to either a floppy disk or memory stick/smart card and take them to your nearest photo shop and they will print them out on proper photo paper.
He did. Laura says in the video that he came back to make the gingerbread house this year.
Wow! Ari looks really different without glasses.
I've finished that book I told you about the other day. It turned out to be a disappointment because the author lost the historical story about a third of the way through. I still know almost nothing about John Snow, Henry Whitehead and the other people who were intimately involved in the fight against cholera in 1854. I still don't know how many people died in that outbreak, how many became ill, and so on.
Instead, what I learned about was the author's opinion on everything from the "stupidity" of prominent people in the mid-1800's who believed infectious diseases were all airborne, to -- believe it or not -- how the invasion of Iraq in 2003 caused an outbreak of cholera in Basra. And all sorts of other opinions from the author in between those two polar extremes.
I tell ya -- this author took the cliche "it's Bush's fault" to a new level in tying the Iraq of 2003 to the London of 1854.
I knew you would like that one
Shows that really there is nothing new in people's behaviour
Wonder why....
by the way, is there a place i can see the video?
Yeah. I sure was disappointed in this author. If one is going to write and sell a book as an historical work, then one should stick to the subject. About two thirds of the book was taken up by all sorts of stuff having only a tangential, if any, relationship to the original subject.
I have a feeling the chef that did it last year has gone as well so it may well be that there was no one experienced enough in that sort of design to do it.
I knew You'd know,
teeheehee!
Thanks so much! I will try to save them!:)
Unfortunately a lot of historical books are like that.
To an extent all authors do put their slant on their work but the good ones are honest enough to say it and also mention other people's point of view.
The bad ones are those who present it as fact and leave it at that I think many history books in schools are like that.
