It was Wilson, but Eleanor did handle some stuff. That stuff irritates me, like MCCain, and Byrd, they are unable to perform 90% of their duties but won’t step down.
If a requirement for "service" in Congress was that one had to be able to perform 90% of the duties of office, then Congress would be a very lonely place.

I mean I think presidents have taken time off in our history. Wasn't one of the Roosevelt's wives essentially acting president for a while too. Edit... Woodrow Wilson

I wouldn't doubt it if Nancy was also doing a lot during Ronald Reagan's second term.
There were plenty of rumors that it was Nancy and HW pretty much running things the last few of months of Reagan's term.
 
We kayaked from the top of College Fjord (in Prince William Sound) back down to Whittier in 2005. We were within a couple of miles of a calving glacier the first day, paddling past the mini-bergs. Eagles EVERYwhere, lots of sea otters, and a few members of the group saw a bear up close & personal while fetching fresh water. There was one day when we went through a whole mess of salmon, and they were leaping out of the water and over the boats; we joked about beaning them with our paddles and having a salmon bake for supper, but that is apparently a no-no.
The area we were in was only accessible via boat or sea plane, so it was completely unspoiled. Amazing trip, amazing scenery; I would recommend it to anyone, even older folk. We were 50 when we made the trip.

Thanks KC! You just gave me another item for my bucket list!

The way it came about was funny...ISU Rec sends out emails of trips to all faculty & staff each year. They included some pictures of the previous year's trip...and they were SOOOOO beautiful I was practically drooling. I forwarded the email to our home email, and when we got home that night I showed him the pictures and told him "That's where we're going on vacation this year". He wholeheartedly agreed, and the next day I went across campus and signed us up. :D

Not expecting 90%. I meant to say they couldn’t 90%, or they could only do 10%. I would like Tom see at least 50%.

Why does spell check change to to Tom on me too many times"

What I don't understand is spell check will change words I don't want changed and leave completely messed up words intact.

Here's your problem, boys - you need to hook up with Spill Chick. She'll straighten you out. ;)

This makes me think of one of my favorite quotes (it is from the musical 1776!):

I have come to the conclusion that one useless man is called a disgrace; that two are called a law firm; and that three or more become a Congress!
 
Trying to decide if googling Spill Chick is a good idea while at work.

You'll mostly get stuff about non-spill chicken feeders, but this is where it originated. There was a meme (before memes were a thing) that circulated via email throughout campus about 20 years ago, similar to the one I have attached. Go ahead and click, it's completely safe. As an IT person, you'll probably get a kick out of it. :D
