Stanton was sixty-four, a career achiever, first in textiles, then oil, and finally high tech. his business savvy was a cloak that hid his amazing min...d for detail, organization, and processes. The Service was improving every day that Ken was in charge, and you could hear people starting to talk about a President Ken Stanton, someday..."Mr. Vice President. We need to talk..." Ken Stanton was tall. I looked up to him, and I was a little over six-feet. He was also the owner of an excellent spine.. The first weekend Kirsten pushed me out of bed and told me what she wanted for breakfast, "And make damned sure that you don't break the yokes on my eggs." Yes dear" I replied as I got out of bed and headed for the kitchen.Five minutes later she came into the kitchen and looked around, "Don't you have the coffee ready yet?"

I hadn't told anyone where I was going." I paused remembering the final straw. "But I'll bet they know. I'm sure they were glad to see me go before I burnt the barn down." I said and gave a half snort half huff kinda noise."Hm" He toned again."Trouble is, they can't get here by car. Half way, sure. But..."We rode.
