I suppose I should mention that I intend "get well soon" to be apolitical. As Keith Obermann asked, "How can we not be united against
death?" I have the same
well-wishes for George Bush Senior, and regret that I could not accept the Oakridge Boys' invitation to sing along with them, due to end-of-year duties at Buckingham Palace. I even had a place in my heart for Reagan despite him almost
snubbing my wife's invitation for a visit. I shit you not, this was due to his wife needing to consult her astrologer. I have no idea why
anyone thought this was a good idea. Elizabeth I consulted her Royal Astrologer, Doctor John Dee, before making any decision,
and she died a virgin. We're much better off with a Royal Coin Flipper nowadays.
I genuinely want everyone to be safe, happy, and healthy for 2013 and beyond, regardless of creed or party.
With that said, I
do have a special place in my heart for fellow kava drinkers.
