I meant to mention this yesterday, but... well, my memory sometimes fails me:
When GWB finished the State of The Union address the other night, there was a close-up shot of him as he exited the chamber. As he passed behind a Secret Service agent, the camera had a really tight shot of the agent's face, and I found myself looking into the face of a classmate of mine from when we first went to the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) lo, those many years ago.
He had been with a different agency then, and had subsequently left that agency to work with the Secret Service, but I hadn't seen him in years, and didn't know he was doing protection.
A very pleasant surprise.
