Thank you for sharing the story of Gen. Mattis.

Sure gives one a true perspective of the man.

We do, indeed, need him as our DoD.

To: All
you are all welcome for the ping (won't be pinging you individually to bulk up unnecessarily the thread) Appreciate your recognition but Pax and I have a commitment til the Inauguration and no thanks is really necessary.

I am working at hotel today at front desk til 3; Saturday front desk 8-12:45 and grocery store (Giant Eagle) 1-5 sampling out craft beers; at hotel Sunday 9AM to 9 PM.

Yesterday was at a church community dinner and helped serve for a few hours early in afternoon. Late afternoon was spent with my friend Paul who is 20 years my senior. We met biking on towpath about 25 years ago. He had just retired from a 40 year teaching gig at Gilmour Academy in Gates Mills Ohio (chemistry); TO this day he remains active with the campus photographing cross country, girls basketball and girls volleyball and Track seasons. He has wonderful archives. He still on occasion helps wth tutoring. He never married but would have been an excellent dad. Loves kids and helping them.

We went to the home of a 20 year physics teacher at the same school.. Small but nice group of folk. Good food and drink and excellent conversation. NOTHING was mentioned of politics and I really am not sure where they all stood in relation to the election.

here are Paul and I at the start of dinner
