Message from long-time friend & sometime correspondent

I just received this email from an old Army buddy:

Subject: My message to the new President

Because I can.

My message to the new President:

"I'm a 56 year old retired Air Force major and a current DOD civilian. (NSPS sucks, by the way.) I voted for you because you appear to be a very bright, disciplined and moral man of action. I believe that only the exceptional person can resist the arrogance of power. I hope that person is you. All I ask of you is that you do your absolute best to make America the envy of the world. Yeah, that's all. Oh . . . and try not to break anything."

Not too much to ask, is it?

Have a nice day.
