Back on December 6, 2013, I shipped a copy of The Gullwing Odyssey to President and Mrs. Obama. (See: Marco Goes To Washington). It wasn't lost on me then that the first family are busy people, and so I wasn't expecting a response. So imagine my surprise when their Thank-You note came in the mail last week. Yes, I'll admit it is a form letter -- the president has more important things to do than to write to a humorist like me -- but it was a nice gesture either way.
