Happy Birthday George

George Bush's birthday has snuck up on me again and so what do you get the man who has given America so so much? How about a wooden box?:

The staff presented him with a wooden box made from a giant oak tree that fell on the White House lawn in 2007. Some of the wood from the tree, planted by Benjamin Harrison's daughter in 1892, had been sent to Texas to be fashioned into a box about 12-by-18 inches. They filled it with notes and cards from members of his senior staff.
