"She thinks I'm pretty"

Rachel came back from physical therapy yesterday with a bit of interesting news.

While at Aspen Valley Hospital, she met the President and First Lady of Iceland, Olafur Grimsson and Dorrit Moussaieff.

Rachel and Dorrit bonded when Dorrit, whose middle name is Rachel, learned that Rachel's first name is Rachel.

Iceland's first lady told Rachel that she thinks she's pretty. She also told her not to worry about how she walks since lots of people "walk funny."

It seems Iceland's first lady broke her leg (skiing?) and Rachel ran into her while they were both at physical therapy.

Iceland's president was with her, exercising while she was having therapy. Rachel felt bad for him because he kept getting interrupted by phone calls. There were secret service type people present too, replete with suits, sunglasses and ear pieces.

Nobody wears suits in Aspen. Well, almost nobody . . .

Steve just called from work to say that the president was going to be skiing today with the Highlands' patrol director, Mac Smith.

I'm guessing that skiing proficiency is a job requirement for the Icelandic secret service. I wonder if they'll be skiing in suits.
