    Picked up over weekend and cannot put down. Very interesting read and insight into the Reagan years. Doug Brinkley did a great job pulling it together.

    What is clear early on is how engaged Reagan was on big picture matters. I've yet to come across a passage where Reagan complains about how his pants fit.

    You are mixing it up with the Clinton Diaries.

    ....had embarrising moment today. Was meeting with Monica in my private office when Hillary called to tell me to hurry up the the residence. She told me she had found the missing billing records. I was so excited I forgot to put my pants back on.

    No. See. Clinton didn't forget -- he was multitasking.

    Big difference.

    Read the excerpts in the latest issue of Vanity Fair. I must say that Reagan had a wry sense of humor, but only exercised it briefly and accordingly in his passages.

    What does he say about his appearance in that Genesis video where he's a puppet?

    Reagan was used to making pictures, creating grand illusions.

    At the very bedrock, it was all he knew.

    Prtty much describes 1980-88. In and out, inside out, outside in, don't wake him.
