This morning I stood in line for 3 hours in front of Books and Books to get his new book &#8220;Giving&#8221; signed. Thanks to my friends Hena, Beth Jeannie and Margaret who made the time go faster. It was worth every minute.<\/p>\n<p>It was quite the experience to see all his fans. Margaret, one of his biggest fans had on a pink &#8220;Hillary for President&#8221; t-shirt and her Clinton button hat with pins on it that she has collected over the years dating back to 1992.<\/p>\n<p>We were all very excited as we winded through the store towards the President. When we finally were able to get a glimpse of him, Jeannie shouted, &#8220;there he is&#8221;!  In person President Clinton is an impressive man. He is much thinner and taller in real life.  He is charming, engaging, friendly and handsome, even though I must say he looked a little tired.<\/p>\n<p>He held my hand while we talked. He thanked Margaret for wearing his wife&#8217;s t-shirt. We commented on how we loved the idea of the book about &#8220;Giving&#8221;. The President recommended that we read the current Time Magazine article on Community Service.<\/p>\n<p>I felt that he would have had liked to continue talking to us for another twenty minutes had the staff not pushed us along.  He would be a great addition to any dinner party. He&#8217;s a very interesting man.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bill Clinton&#8230;of course.
