Season's Greetings, my modest but loyal readership (and if there are only two or three of you, you're all the more appreciated.)
Apologies for the brief interruption in my prolific blogging habits... I had been soaking up some sun and rain in the balmy subtropics (as long as it's balmy, I can deal with a little rain) with my shackmate and his family... we had a great time. Now it's back to the hustle and bustle of the chilly Mid-Atlantic Megapolis.
I heard the news of Gerald Ford's death from the condo yesterday.
The more I learn of the guy, the more likable he seems, despite having been, you know, a Republican, and making a coupla bad hiring decisions that will go unmentioned, despite their far-reaching consequences.
Referred to as an "accidental president" because of his appointments (rather than elections) to both the VP and the top post, he actually wasn't all that physically clumsy, although his face is probably less recognizable to citizens my age and younger than Chevy Chase's slapstick impersonation of him.
Here's Bob Woodward's write-up from the Washington Post.
