Day 4 coming soon- but first this not so shocking news

Last month my father-in-law went to a presidential lunch and met W. He got his picture taken with him and waited patiently for it to arrive in his email. You'd think 2 grand would at least get you a free picture?? No.

Yesterday his inbox revealed a link to retrieve his photo. After jumping through a few hoops and a password, he was able to view the picture (so was I for that matter). However, I can't post it on this site. At least not yet. You see, you must BUY the photo first.

So I thought...eh, okay I'll go ahead and order a print. OMG!!! The cheapest print (I think it was a magnet) cost $15.00!! An 8x10 was $60.00!!! Damn. I suppose they figure that if you have enough money to attend the lunch, then sixty bucks is nothing.

Now back to our regularly scheduled postings. Day 4 in Maui was interesting...this will be followed by a belated Halloween.

Hey bro!
I sent it to your regular email, but I'm sure Don will get it.

It's a pretty funny pic. It kinda looks like it's been photo shopped.
I think that makes 3 presidents he's met??

I think you're right about the photoshop look. I think I'd get that feeling looking at ANY genuine photo of somebody from my everyday life standing next to the president of the United States. -JD
