�Not really, sir, no,� Matt said.
Josh, however, had been thinking a lot on the subject. Though it had been a foregone conclusion since the beginning Matt had officially asked him to be Chief of Staff and, after Josh and Donna talked it over and discussed how it could affect the new revelation in their relationship, he had accepted the job. �Well, actually, I was thinking of one,� Josh said. Everyone looked at him expectantly. �Big Block of Cheese Day,� he announced.
�What?� Matt and Helen asked at the same time.
�Big Block of Cheese Day,� Donna repeated, remembering them fondly.
�A Leo McGarry legacy,� CJ agreed with a nostalgic smile. �I approve, mi amore.�
As much as they had all always complained, everyone�except maybe Toby�really liked Leo�s Cheese days. At least, as long as Margaret wasn�t angry with you when she was making up the assignments. She could find the perfect meetings to punish you if she wasn�t happy with you when a Cheese Day rolled around.
�Promise not to do the speech?� Donna pleaded.
�It wouldn�t be Big Block of Cheese Day without the Andrew Jackson speech,� Josh said defensively. Donna and CJ didn�t say anything but they could both vividly remember Josh and Leo having a �discussion� about that very topic more than once, and that was hardly Josh�s view on the matter at the time.
Matt frowned. �What is Big Block of Cheese Day?�
Bartlet and Abbey grinned. They had always taken great pleasure in watching the Senior Staff and their assistants dealing with the people that Josh and Sam had deemed �the funnel people�. �It was one of Leo�s pet projects. Every once in a while he would take a day of the Senior Staff�s life and make them meet with people and groups that don�t usually get the attention of the White House,� he said warmly.
