Another Big Word

Sitting at the fire pit in our backyard, Wally was poking at the fire with a long stick so it didn't appear he was paying any attention to the conversation YaYa and I were having a conversation about the book she is reading. It is about former presidents. She was telling a story from Reagan's presidency. It was 1981 and Anwar Sadat, president of Egypt, had just been assassinated. Reagan and former presidents Ford, Nixon and Carter flew to Egypt for the funeral. Reagan went on Air Force One while the others flew together on another aircraft. As you know, Ford, Nixon and Carter were not fond of each other. YaYa was telling me how Carter and Ford bonded on the flight over their mutual disdain for Nixon. As YaYa finished telling the story , Wally said "That must have been awkward."
