If you've never read Neil Gaiman's story We Can Get Them For You Wholesale, now might be a good time.

It's a very good story.

But I prefer to do my own, "work,".

I'd be more than happy to spare you for a juicy cabinet position, of some sort...

Well, there's the television cabinets, several in the kitchen, and I suppose we could call the woodshed a cabinet. You may assume any position you like inside.

Back in 7th Grade, my homeroom teacher gave us the assignment of What would we do if President? My answer was, resign and get my successor to appoint me Sec'y of State. She didn't like that too much. I asked where in the Constitution it said I couldn't. She liked that less.

Damned autocrat. :)

These days, I'd probably hold out for Justice of SCOTUS, but that's trickier, what with waiting for a vacancy, and Advise and Consent so highly charged, etc.

Still, State would be cool. Lotsa travel and parties. :)

State would please me more than the Oval Office too. More chance to affect things, directly.

On the other hand, I just did two-weeks of travel and parties, and it's exhausting.

Among the people before you in the succession are a number of my friends. For that matter, there are a number of your friends in that group as well. For the sake of being a nice guy (have you ever wanted to be a nice guy? you have a lot of virtues, and I like you quite a bit, but "nice guy" wouldn't be near the top of the list of descriptors I'd use for you), you'll have to wait for them to die of natural causes.

Well, given that mostly I want to see someone I think reasonable in the office (and really don't want the heartache, I'll stop when I get to one.

I have wanted to be a nice guy, and (for certain values of nice) I am.

Certainly I am loyal to my friends, and (though at times it conflicts with the desire to be, "nice") the good of the body politic is something I'm willing to sacrifice for.

On the other hand, my definitions of nice, may be at an orthagonal tangent to the most of the society's.

Which is where socialisation has to be substituted.

Hmm. Moving from airy persiflage into the arena of seriousness, I'd say you're a good man rather than a nice guy. Don't let it go to your head.

Staying serious, I'll take good over nice any day of the week.

I might (I have to talk to Maia about it) be up for NASFiC.

NASFiC should be lots of fun, but I won't be there. Glenn and I are taking a long-planned, long-delayed trip to Alaska with all the grandchildren and theirs mothers to see Glenn's parents while we still can. With that many people's schedules to juggle, NASFiC had to yield.

You all have a great time and come back up for OryCon, maybe?

Hrmn...

Maybe. Maia and I might manage to make time for that (though she has school).

I have a round trip from a bump, and so I am thinking of seeing people I've not seen in years (and then too briefly, such and P & T NH).

It's still up in the air.

You've jumped up the list a bit.

I hope it's because people are rearranging the list on your behalf.

Maybe you could persuade people by sending them a London Underground ticket.

At least you seem to still be ahead of Tom Clancey's Jack Ryan.
