I'm waiting for her to burst into flames any minute now.
Wonder what would happen if someone threw holy water on her?
"I'm melllllttttinnnng!"
maybe she would melt? wishful thinking...
Those military dudes are wearing hats in church.
I think it's OK in this case... ;~D
Well, so were the Cardinal and the Rabbi.
Okay...the military dudes are wearing non-ecclesiastical hats in church. :)
"Hail to the Chief" - I'm losing it again.

That was a really nice service.
I find myself incapable of imagining living a life that would put me in that kind of company, but I find myself a little jealous of the regular folk and soldiers whose life choices put them at the right place and time to have a little part to play in history. To be part of the honor guard, or the band that plays, or the stable hands that care for the honorary horses in the caisson would be a great experience.
Now the church bell is tolling.
~sob~
Yeah...that was the picture I was looking for.
Wow.
I listened to it on the radio on the way from the client site to the office. It was pouring all the way. I nearly lost it once or twice.
The bells now sound so... lonely, even through the static on my radio...
They sounded that way to me, too. The tone seemed like it was supposed to be uplifting but somehow it was still sombering. It was like my heart didn't want to accept that the funeral was over and he's not here anymore--that was how hearing the bells made me feel.
I envy you guys who remember Reagan. I have so few memories of him. I barely remember the end of the world's changing; I remember the USSR, and the Berlin Wall coming down, but they don't really have any meaning for me other than as history.
I guess that's what Reagan would have wanted. But I still feel like I'm missing a lot.
See you later all, we are headed first to the vet to get Gidget checked out... (she's been limping and it isn't getting better) and then to pick up my Dad's new blazer and head to the beach house.
We'll be back tonight :~D
