Awwww!
That's sweet. I hope he outlives ALL his detractors and that his mind remains sharp.
There are workarounds for everything but that.

Man, I have mixed feelings about this article. It's almost a flaunt of the Bushes wealth if you get my drift. For a second, I thought I was reading a parody out of The Onion.

Life is simpler if I don't have to stop in when summoned to that messy room where they hang out to give my views on Madonna, P. Diddy or Eminem. I have no views on those people. I am happily disconnected from hip-hop, dirty-talking screen performers and science fiction. I love my grandchildren, all of them. But I no longer want to get their views on Hollywood celebrities or even hear how much they enjoyed the Dave Matthews concert way the hell up near the Canadian border: "It took us five hours to get to the concert area, and then we had to walk for an hour because there was no parking. We stayed up all night. Pierce slept in the back of a pickup truck." I listened but I didn't care. Is that selfish? All I could think about was recommending a good psychiatrist to all of them. Who, if totally sane, would drive all day, walk for hours, listen to a rock concert--in the rain yet--then spend the rest of the night camped in the bed of a pickup truck? Give me a break.
Yup.

What a great article. For once, nothing to flame over!
My only wish for H.W. (and the other presidents)is that they avoid the Reagan fate, God bless him... and them.

"I still feel like charging ahead and living life to the hilt, but my body lags behind."
LOL, I can relate. Really, though, he is a very nice, very special man, as is obvious in this piece.

An honorable man. That part of the electorate that put that dope-smoking, womanizing draft-dodger in office instead of him should be ashamed.

Oh, I'm sorry you feel that. IMHO, it seems a warm and charming reflection on life from his viewpoint at age 80.

Sending this to my 83-year-old father-in-law. Thanks.

It's almost a flaunt of the Bushes wealth if you get my drift.I didn't get that at all. He mentions an SUV and a 31 foot boat, but that's hardly flaunting the Bush wealth.
I'm curious, what in the article gave you that impression?

Nice post, Darlin'. I wish he had shown that down-to-earth side of himself in 1992. We might have avoided what came after.

So it's true "Life begins at 40 and ends at 41"
I am convinced Adam and Eve were 40 when they sinned because from then on it was down hill from them

Perhaps he was simply bewildered that such a piece of trash could ever be a threat much less win.
