I really hope that I can keep going.

One more anecdote, I have another picture of me and Tony which I did not post.

Nothing particularly unusual about that, for some reason, I have a number of pictures of me and Tony.

What was cool, was the person who took that photo. I didn't know at the time, but it was T. Boone Pickens, most recently noted for offering John Kerry a million dollars if he could prove any of the Swift Vets charges false.

Sometimes you can take the measure of a man by the little things that he does, like taking for photo for a total stranger without even a hint of "Do you know who I am". (I didn't).

He was there, doing what billionaires do, giving away money.

On the serious side, the MRC did a segment on the life and death of a recent Metal of Honor winner Lt. Michael Patrick Murphy and Mr Pickens was there to donate $100,000 to the Metal of Honor Foundation.

 After seeing this tribute he decided that he had left a zero off the check, and right then and there, rewrote it for $1,000,000

 Like I said, its the little things.
