Well, it’s been another amazing year for our family. I went
to Davos again and hung out with Billy Gates and Sting and Bono. What a hoot! The Duchess of Cambridge showed
up this time, and we asked her to play Texas Hold ‘Em with us, but she politely
begged off on the grounds that it would be unseemly for a Royal to play poker.
Ha, Ha. (Was she funnin’ us?) Anyhoo, also did an initiative on climate change,
an initiative on energy independence, and an initiative on initiatives. Also, the TED conference where Keith Richards,
Springsteen, Bono and the guy with the wobbly voice from Cold Play and I hung
out and played Texas Hold ‘Em into the wee hours. Billy Gates Skyped in for a
spell, but then Melinda told him to come to bed. He walked away from a huge
pot, but I guess he can afford it. Tip:
Bono may be a nice guy, but I’m not sure he’s all above board when it
comes to cards. I’ll say this for Vail, Colorado, though; they sure have a lot
of famous rich people running around there. The hot cocoa is to die for and the
whipped cream, a mechiah!
Hillary’s still doing that thing that she does over at
State. We didn’t get to see that much of her this year, because she’s always
flying hither and yon, and putting a stop to various wars, yadee, yadee, yadda.
This month alone, she was in 147 different world capitals! Who knew there were so many fucking
countries!? She loves her “work,” but
seriously, it’s kind of nice to have her around for the holidays – even if it
took a concussion and a head cold to get her to slow down for a spell. She’s
still recovering from the bump on her head.
She’s fine, but we had to miss the annual party at the Saudi Embassy. No
big loss. They never shake hands with
her or let her do karaoke. So instead, we stayed in and watched home makeover
shows and I don’t know how many episodes of “Say Yes to the Dress.” Hoo
Boy! And I thought there was drama at
the U. N.!
Chelsea and what’s-his-name are doing great. We were over at
their house last week and it was all decked out. They had hung matzo balls from the Christmas
tree. Very multicultural. Chelsea may run for something next year. Her name’s been floated in a few venues. I
won’t say by whom. (Could his initials be W.J.C.?). Well, she’s smart as a
whip, so why not? We have high hopes for
Chelsea. You might say we’ve got high
apple pie in the sky hopes. Watch this
space for more announcements soon.
So as another year draws to a close, I’m glad to report that
we’re all well. We’re so happy that we are able to send you this update on
ourselves. We’d love to hear from you,
and we hope that we can see you all soon. (Not at once! There are way too many of you!).
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to one and all!
And remember, 2016 is now only 4 years away!
K.I.T.
Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea.
(and What’s-his-name)
