George W. likes my book

Politically George W. Bush and I are light years apart. But we find common ground as mountain bikers. When I was asked to sign a copy of my book Fat Tire Flyer for George, I was honored to do so. Mr. Bush reciprocated with a hand written thank you note.

Ugh! Written in felt tip marker!

However, that should not detract...

Personal correspondence is very cool and his response in longhand is most gracious.

I wasn't a fan of his presidency, but he seems to be a very pleasant and genuine person. Congrats!

Put an endorsement on that book

"The decider has decided . . . Fat Tire Flyer Rocks"

Seriously, it is cool.

Whatever you think of him politically, that is neat.

Congratulations on your book.

Very nice. Most times we only get to know the real person after they get out of office.

Very nice. Even if you don't like his politics, he is not phony, like most politicians.
