*sigh* I understand LH. And I really should wait until my first marriage is legally over to start proposing. I also didn't realize you were 59. I'm looking for a younger man who can take care of me in my dotage, smiles at me across the breakfast table every morning (that I happen to be in town),and cheerfully says, "I hope you have a good long list of tasks you would like for me to do today after I'm done doing the grunt work for you in your lovely gardens, Dear," and who makes sure my bank account stays topped up while I'm travelling in warmer climes in winter while he stays home to take care of the place.

Amos, alas, is right. It would never work.

But you and the rest of the Cabinet can help with the weeding of the White House garden. Well, you can take turns. The work goes faster to some nice music, so we can trade off, half of us weeding and the other half entertaining.

Bobert, I also think every press conference should start out with a song-circle and close with a jam of some sort. That ought to have some effect on the media, wouldn't you say?
