For Gordon

With all the chatter about the dim gift that President Obama gave British PM Gordon Brown....the 25 best American movies on DVD....I just sat there and thought about what I would have given Gordon.

Then it kinda hit me. I'd offer up a fine bottle of Jacky D's, with four nice shot glasses...maybe with the British flag and US flag on the side of the glasses. Gordon would have been impressed....poured a stiff drink for me and him.

We would have sat and discussed hunting, septic tanks, MG cars, British women, terrible British food, Phil Collins, and finally I would have left when the bottle was about half-empty.

Gordon would have remembered me and my sincere present.
