Gary is one of my coworkers.  He’s in his early 40’s, but lost a leg to cancer when he was 22.   There were 13 guys in the same cancer study group he was in, only three chose amputation, and those three are the only ones that are alive today.  I always considered him an inspiration to my single friends.  As a one-legged bald guy in his 40’s, he married a very beautiful Christian lady.  Some guys since they have nothing to offer, but if a one-legged cancer surviving bald guy can find a pretty classy lady in his 40’s, there’s hope out there for them all.

Gary’s dad died on Friday, just one day after his 73rd birthday.  I just finished attending the funeral, but Gary couldn’t make it because he was very sick.  Not only does he have flu like symptoms, but he experiences phantoms pains from the leg that isn’t there anymore – I guess it triggers and gets more painful when he gets emotional.  You have to be very very sick not to make your father’s funeral.  His wife spoke for him.  I already know he’s proud of her, but today I can totally see why she’s a wife of noble character.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24 — A group of influential Christian conservatives and their allies emerged from a private meeting at a Florida resort this month dissatisfied with the Republican presidential field and uncertain where to turn.

The event was a meeting of the Council for National Policy, a secretive club whose few hundred members include Dr. James C. Dobson of Focus on the Family, the Rev. Jerry Falwell of Liberty University and Grover Norquist of Americans for Tax Reform. Although little known outside the conservative movement, the council has become a pivotal stop for Republican presidential primary hopefuls, including George W. Bush on the eve of his 1999 primary campaign.

But in a stark shift from the group’s influence under President Bush, the group risks relegation to the margins. Many of the conservatives who attended the event, held at the beginning of the month at the Ritz-Carlton on Amelia Island, Fla., said they were dismayed at the absence of a champion to carry their banner in the next election.
