Goodbye, Charlie!

What if they gave a going away party and no one came. Including the guest of honor. I considered, seriously, if Mr. Grant would appear at his send off last week at City Hall. Maybe he'd just forget or have to take the young one to swimming lessons, both regular excuses for missing meetings in the past. Better yet, he might have chosen to just "quit" like he did when he lost his re-election campaign. He just walked out. The end.

Well, stop the speculation....if you don't already know, he actually made it to this meeting, with the Judge and kid in tow. On his way out the door he was still making promises, "I'll send you that stuff you asked for, Kathy!" (Want to place bets that he'll go two-for-two and actually follow through on that promise? Thought not.)

Thanks for the memories, Charles.
