The Long View

Dear Rusty, Wow! It’s been a long time! You know, we haven’t corresponded as much in the past few years as we used to. My fault, I’m sure. I just don’t have the time like I used to, back when I was vice president of the United States. Back then, I could easily grab a few minutes each day and write a letter (snail mail, too! ☺) to my old friend Rusty.

But, you know how it is: You run for president and that turns into a whole big thing, and then you make a hit movie and host a big rock concert and then you win the Nobel Peace Prize, and suddenly it’s like your time is not your own. It’s the old story.
