Silent Don Speaks


Donald Ferguson: Calvin “ Silent Cal” Coolidge was also from rural New England. A newspaper reporter was going to the White House for a state dinner. She bet her editor that she could get Silent Cal to say more than three words to her at dinner. At dinner, she charmingly told the situation to Silent Cal. His response. “You lose.” My hero.

I remember a meeting in Austin, TX a few years back in which there were perhaps 80 or so people in a long and narrow room.  Don positioned his chair sideways on the narrow edge nearest the door.  At one point, he had something to add.  As he began to speak, he was quickly interrupted with a request: “Could you speak up?”.  Don paused for a second.  His then responded with a “no”, whereupon he proceeded from the point where he had left off.

The “less code” and “simpler” memes are advancing from below.  And from above.  From the inside.  As well as from the outside.

P.S.
Anybody have any good recommendations for removing Tabasco stains?  ;-)
