Cheap advice - With e-mails to generals so in the news today, I will never forget what my mentor GG used to say to me. When we first got e-mail at the school where I worked, she said, "Never put anything in an e-mail that you don't want the world to know." Boy, that advice saved my butt a couple of times. Simple advice. One would think 4-Star Generals and the head of the CIA would know that.
A bit of time to remember - We met William at a German restaurant in the city early last evening. It was the sister restaurant of the East German one we enjoyed a few weeks ago. He took a cab two miles from the hotel and it took over 30 minutes. Nasty traffic due to lots of work being done on major arteries around the city. He emerged from the cab looking fantastic, relaxed and happy. Why not? They are staying at the Four Seasons! Tough job! We split the happy hour platter of five sausages - ranging from wild boar to veal - and the boys had a beer. It was perfect. We talked and laughed. This was the last time we will be together before Christmas. He has a quick run in Europe later this week and into next. I sat and looked at the two men in my life as they were talking about the Mustang they rebuilt from the ground up together and the affection for each other was palatable. He is from us. He is our son. It all turned out just fine.
Fill the gas tank - Back into the city this morning to meet Susan for lunch before the ILD Support Group meeting. My personal gas tank will be empty tonight after a busy day and driving home in rush hour traffic. Early to bed!
