I’d like to thank the american presidents for showing me how it’s done.

What I mean is, I’ve been watching documentaries about some of the 20th century presidents.  These were gentlemen who did not stay stay still, and if they found themselved being still, they knew that there was more.  Mr. FDR, for example, after finding himself and stricken by polio, just decided that he was going to get rid of his paralysis.  He didn’t, but he kept going.  And Mr Carter, after finding himself as a farmer and perfectly settled, drove off one day and started campaigning to be governor of Georgia.  I like these stories.  OK, what I also like is noticing plot points that were borrowed by West Wing. This is my summer of the american presidents.
