So, he's taking the job you told us about?

[Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438]

No firm offers at this point, Allie; there's still the small matter of confirmation.

 

Fingers crossed.

I'm thinking you're a pretty proud father which ever way it goes.

Very cool, LL... the picture definitely brings a smile.

When I think of the General, I think of this quote from Teddy Roosevelt:

 

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Our local sheriff is a big Roosevelt fan. I gave him a framed print of that quote when he spoke out against the new gun control laws the hit us with a couple of years ago.
