Many people believe today to be a historic day and it is.  Clarby is excited about it.  But Clarby would like to take time to express his gratitude to President George W. Bush.  Clarby is more than a pen-name and a guy to laugh with or at.  He's actually a hard working, fairly intelligent and extremely caring person.  Everyone has their own perception of the last 8 years and this is Clarby's.
During President Bush's first year in office Clarby lost his virginity.  That's kind of big, not sure how it involed the President, but it happened under his watch, so thank you.  During that same year September 11th took place, within a few weeks of that his grandmother died and his best friend suffered serious injuries.  President Bush's actions and encouragement seemed to calm his anxieties and helped him cope.  Thank you for your guidance.  During your term the Red Sox won the World Series twice, you don't know the joys those victories brought me.  Clarby managed to graduate from a real college in four years.  Yes, it happened, not sure how but it did.  After graduating Clarby landed a job with a brokerage company where he passed his Series 7.  Not liking the industry he moved to take an incredible job in the Legal Field.  During your 2 terms Clarby has made more money every single year.  Clarby has taken a tour of the White House and been able to realize how much you have to deal with every day.  Moreso than everyone else.  And that you do it with everyone watching you and judging you.  That leaves Clarby in a state of awe and wonder.  Clarby can't do much with people watching him.  It's hard enough trying to figure out where to eat everyday, let alone deal with real problems.  So today, as President Elect Obama takes office and you sign off, Clarby would like to thank you for everything you have done to help make his life better.  Clarby realizes that he is really the only person that controls his day to day actions and choices but President George W. Bush you have helped give peace of mind and been a rock during hard times.  For someone that battled self-confidence issues, you have been an example that it doesn't matter what others may think.  Doing what you believe is right and best is not an easy thing and your actions and decisions over the last 8 years deserve so much more than a thank you.  You will forever have my respect and gratitude and I hope that one day I can shake your hand and say thank you in person.

Sincerely,

Clarby

You know that he is indeed coming back to Dallas to live...and there might even be a person in your office who can find out where he will be officing...

I did know this. He is actually living in the same neighborhood as mom and dad Clarby. I'm hoping to be able to stop in and say hello.
