Yes, even by my standards this was a fairly active vacation, you know. Hillary is keeping me busy, and we had a lot of--we also had finalized the house. I love this house. It's a beautiful old house, and the older part of it was built in 1889. The people who lived in it for the last 18 years have taken wonderful care of it. It was obviously a place that has been lovingly tended to, and it will be a good place to wake up in the morning--lots of light. I like the neighbors; they were nice. And so I'm looking forward to it. I know that Hillary is, and I'm very pleased that we were able to find it. And I'd also like to say, since you asked me the question, a special word of thanks to all the people who opened their homes to Hillary or to Hillary and me, to people on our behalf, as we were looking for a place. As you might imagine, the circumstances for them were somewhat unusual; the publicity for them--most of them--was somewhat--was unprecedented, and I was very touched by the way we were received. And I had a wonderful vacation. I liked it all. But I had to come up to Camp David to get a little rest this weekend.
